As Warp said, I think it comes down to being part of a bigger team.  For 
example in my job now I can do the interesting bits of 3D design, and leave 
the detail and 2D drawing creation to others.  I like that.  Of course some 
parts I don't enjoy doing, but it's nowhere near 90%, more like 25% I'd say. 
I guess if I worked for a game company I wouldn't want to be the person who 
codes 90% of the time all the boring stuff, I'd want to be the one who 
tinkers about with new ideas (ie research as you said) and then let the 
others get on with actually making it into a real game.
