He’s the game director, it makes sense that things would go through him.

Things: yes. All things: No. That's micromanagement.

But we are talking about design decisions here, it would be micromanagement if he was getting in the middle of how things are done, not the end result.

On big projects like this, the game director isn't also the lead game designer. Or at least they shouldn't. That's the whole point of having these 2 positions in the first place

It doesn't sound like he's designing. He's only (dis)approving the designers work.
