The producer doesn't make creative decisions, the producer makes technical decisions.

The creative director of a game saying that a character in a game is dead is like George Lucas saying that a character in Star Wars is dead (pre Disney, obviously). It doesn't really matter what anyone below him thinks; his word is law.

And either way, the opinions of the other team members really have no bearing until we actually hear them, and even then, they still may not have bearing.
