Is there such a thing as proper accreditation?
The fight over proper crediting in video games seems to be a subject that never ends. When it was revealed that Mythic Entertainment was not crediting everyone that worked on Warhammer Online, the controversy exploded and many developers weighed in on the situation. Gaming site Gamasutra has compiled a fairly comprehensive summary on the whole situation, including the decisions that Mythic Entertainment has made to quiet their critics.
"The in-game credits are going to continue to list the guys who were here at launch," he says, "but now were building a tool so that everybody who ever worked on the game will be credited online so that future employers or anybody can see it. That will be the case with Warhammer and all of our other games going forward. I believe thats going far beyond even the IGDAs suggestions."
