"I've personally had the opposite experience. I'm far more productive in a team environment. In video games my most product times are when an artist and/or designer and I sit together and work together."

A few people working together on a single task is not an open office. In a "real" open office you couldn't actually talk to the artist and designer beyond a few sentences because if you did you would disturb the other 10-20 people within earshot.

We have over 100 people on my floor but I like to think I'm only disturbing the nearest 10-20 :).
