Comment on Nintendo touts high employee retention rate after loss of Microsoft jobs rocks Xbox Game Studios
Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 month agoI don’t know when we decided that games should have credits but other software doesn’t.
I don’t see credits for business software. When you shut down Linux it doesn’t go “A Linus Torvalds OS. Written by Linus Torvalds”
Why are they even there? Is it a union thing, like with movies? Did they just need more than “Congratulations, you have finished the game” at the end? Who even reads them? Nobody needs to know who provided the catering at the translation company they outsourced to.

Lots of software has credits, historically they were often hidden in Easter eggs. Small software still often credits their creators e.g. in the Help>about menu item.
But games are different, they are primarily an artistic pursuit.

Games are entertainment. I wouldn’t argue that MS Office is entertainment.

Software for desktops sometimes have credits of the people who made it.

Because games are art. Creative industries do credits.
