   Here, here... Authors get their pic and a bio in the book. Actors and 
support staff get mention in movies.

   SW Authors need exposure TOO!!!

   Some here would be suprised that Steve T. (Virus X and Screen X) has written
a few games. But sad to say publishing houses have final say in A LOT of areas
(Like Jez Sans is going to have a FSim out soon, published by EA, and will 
most likely have CP.. Sigh..).

 I guess when one must pay the rent and eat one does not argue too much.
But I am all for knowing who writes my games. What ever happened to EA??
There aren't any more "Programmers In Leather Ads" anymore. Did they get
bought by some straight-laced venture capitalists or did they just get 
GREEDY???

 .. Sulking home to lament the changes in the game industry.
