Gaming translator here. Big companies like Nintendo translate as they develop, so sometimes things are scrapped from the game in later development. They make you sign that long of an NDA in case they use those ideas in other games. Small titles like indies usually ask if you want to be in the credits. I've translated games for 3 years now and I only appear in Bread & Fred's credits.

"tell me what you did at your last job"

"Sorry, i signed an NDA.*

[sanekibeko]

10 year NDAs are BS. I did an internship for an animation company and I can't even show my work for at least 5 years.

The COD poll shows just how much Spawn Wave viewers differ from the "mainstream". If anything, it should be a reminder that the "internet's" opinion is far from "everyone's" opinion.

60-80 hours of work for 40 hours of pay, sexual harassment, toxic work environment, relationship/marital problems, depression, stress beyond stress, no recognition, etc....
Why do people want to be game programmers again?

[HundredKnight]

The credits in Mortal Kombat are so long, You get a trophies for watching the entire credit reel

[AmazingFrenchman]

When your flagship series is almost being forgotten.... that's a problem. Halo from people who made Fusion Frenzy and thought Master Chief wasn't that important for the series.... Yeah...

Buddy of mine left Rockstar before Read Dead 1 released. He did not get a credit. Years later he worked for Double Eleven and got his name in the credits of the port, despite leaving Double Eleven a few months before that version of the game came out

[ASLTheatre]

That sucks about crediting is still a problem. The first video game Easter egg was a credit.

I work as a Sign Language Interpreter. When doing Virtual Relay Service (VRS) our names are often hidden for our protection. But regardless our faces are there. By the nature of Sign Language our faces are there. I am sorry this happens to Verbal Language.

[Lockful]

Have been working in translation/localization for almost two decades and that is exactly how it works as an independent.
You get no credit and you get hit with NDAs and you can bet your ass that there are some companies like Nintendo and others that I would never dare break an NDA.

[JaguarDave]

The reason movie credits are so long is because they probably have union contracts that insist they get credit for their work.

Since it’s a comparable industry (many diverse technical workers ), the game industry needs to form a Union or Guild to negotiate standard contracts that cover this and many other industry abuses.

Ownership will never do the right thing they need to be pressured / forced.

[benfiske]

The reason why movies credit so many people is because of the unions. Is the gaming industry wants to resolve this, they need to unionize.

[AlienFrequency]

DO people skip game credits? These days, there’s often something interesting going on during the credits, whether new music and art, or the ability to control your character or a camera in some way. Plus, if you skip, you may miss something after them. Maybe I’m in the minority.

[aaronalexander]

I usually won't bother with a game without achievements, I really like seeing that my time went towards something so that I don't feel like I wasted my time. There are a few exceptions, but it definitely is a factor on if I care about a game or not

[direseven]

as a dedicated .hack fan. im glad to see spawn wave covering this news about this. Unfortunately CC2 has stated and told us many times in magazines and interviews about upcoming .hack games/ remasters and its exactly like he's said before which is you have to tell Bandai Namco that we want this game by voicing this decision. Now how do we do this when the most recent game was a remaster from recent 10 years is and its always on sale for like 5-10$ is hard to do. .Hack paved the way for isekai into games genre. it does supersede even the SAO website and comics that came around 2001 with a manga being first shown at mangacon back in the late 90's. .Hack is the Pioneer we deserve a .Hack remaster or new entry.

I don't think you will play as link at all. The way that rating discription read was 'in the past you played as link using swords and arrows, in this one you play as Zelda using etc.'

[hatsudopia]

Careful buying sandisks on Amazon, I've already bought 2 counterfeits from them already.

[Zelgadis]

bad move from Nintendo.
localizers should be credited so the consumers who care will know who are the bad apples if the localizations end up being terrible

[Trx]

The Call of Duty Franchise isn’t the same anymore. I miss how the game was on PS3 and 360, when you actually had your best good at the game vs just swiping your credit card to get the best weapons

[chunkie]

I am so confused at why Nintendo still refuses to port the Wii version of Punch Out to the switch. It would be the perfect platform for that game and I would buy a physical copy in an instant.
