A very good article on the state of proper #crediting in the #gamesindustry today. Very few companies get crediting right and thousands of people are left off of credits all the time. This is a problem with a relatively simple solution that keeps coming up. I remember when this came up originally as part of the #IGDA's work in the early 2000s. Sad that things haven't gotten better in nearly 2 decades.
