On Game Credits

[Oct 04, 2008, 10:34 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due on Gamasutra solicits comments from Mythic's Mark Jacobs, the IGDA, Valve's Doug Lombardi and others about issues surrounding properly crediting game developers that recently boiled over into a bit of controversy surrounding the credits in Warhammer Online (story, story, and story). Topics include aspects of game development that complicate the crediting process, and the possibility a standard for game credits could be adopted, which doesn't sound likely from the responses they receive.

I'm guessing many developers are just happy to be paid and "live" with the lack of being given credit.

Why isn't the industry unionised with rules like the SAG for actors?
Many computer arts related fields aren't..
