Reply to Who should get credit on games? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

It can be a serious disruption to have an employee leave before project completion, but I feel they still deserve mention if they left on good terms. Regarding titles, this is something we tried to avoid in the credits. In a smaller studio we all wear many hats - it would feel forced or even humerous to slap titles on everyone.
