    They are right, a studio’s name is meaningless if they gut it and thus remove the developers that put it on the map to begin with. I don’t know why the developers aren’t given more reputational value in games media.

      Publishers don’t want the devs getting credit, because that makes them less disposable.

      The first game Easter Egg was literally Warren Robinett putting his name in a game he made because Atari didn’t allow the devs to be credited.

            The history of the Easter Egg is inportant to the plot of Ready Player One - the book and the movie.

                That was what I was referring too. The book is worth it, the movie not so much tho.
