Mythic Changes Crediting Policy
Mythic faced much criticism from gamers, employees and industry people alike for the crediting policy it instituted for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning where they gave credit only to the launch team and not to those who contributed to the game through the years.
Addressing those complaints, the studio has announced that it will maintain an online database of everyone who contributed to the project, regardless of current employment status. However, credit in the manual will be given to those who were part of the ‘launch’ team.
"I applaud Mythic for taking steps to address this issue," stated IGDA chairperson Jen MacLean. "Fair and accurate credits and transparent standards for crediting remain a pervasive problem in the industry."
