You're talking about promissory estoppel, which is both difficult to prove and unreliable in court tests (and also a principle of contract law, which may or may not apply in this case). Honestly, this situation is far from clear-cut.

He claims credit for so many things (and attempts to rewrite history so freqently) that it's practically impossible to say for sure, and really difficult to even guess. I know for a fact that GW2 isn't based on any of his work though, so I just delete wiki entries that claim otherwise.
