And as a project has seen its fair share of ups and downs. Contributing to both those ups and downs have been literally hundreds of staffers who have worked with developers Mythic over the years, from the game's announcement in 2005 through their acquisition by EA through to today. But in a move that's sure to reignite the controversy over crediting in the videogame industry, only those currently employed at Mythic will be recognised in the game's credits. A former Mythic dev has told Shacknews:
This has been an ongoing problem in this industry for many years. I spent three years on WAR and I, including many other people who spent just as much if not close to the same amount of time, will NOT be credited in the game. I was told they made SURE to not include anyone in the list who was not at the office the day of the credit list creation. This is wrong on many levels and should not go unnoticed.
Sure, many will point to the film business, and say the exact same thing happens there, particularly with screenplays. But you know what? That doesn't make it right. Warhammer Online Not Crediting All Developers [Shacknews] More »

Today's development? If you can be bothered watching the credits, you'll see a bunch of names whizz by you. Thing is, a few names are missing. Like, most of them. See, the game was developed primarily at Rockstar Vienna, with work commencing in 2004 before the studio was closed down in May 2006. From there, development was wound up at Rockstar London.Yet over 50 Rockstar Vienna developers have been left off the credits, even though they'd done most of the game's hard yards! Sure, the game looks a bit crap, and we're all getting sick of the "hoopla", but that's 50 devs who put a few years of their lives into the thing. Least they could get was a little thanks/recognition. The full list of omitted staffers is after the jump. More »
