It’s Not Hard For A Billion-Dollar Company To Credit An Artist From Time To Time
The companies who own these games never bother to credit the artist
I guess I’m a bit confused here. Every film I have seen in my entire life credits the artists, and many games do as well.
The article is talking about art in promo material.
Think about it: whenever you see a piece of production art featured in a social media post or a press release or a game announcement at a big televised showcase, all you ever see is the art. You never know who made it, whether it was created by an individual or a small team (or even a studio).
They’re usually put in the game’s credits. The promotional material is part of the game even if it isn’t on the disc, it isn’t some separate project that exists in a vacuum.
The author says “think about it”, but clearly he didn’t.
Feels like the author just wanted to take a jab at game and marketing studios.
Even though I’ve seen artists being credited on social media by big studios quite often in recent years.
