What is the deal with all this credit business? What do you get out of it? Seriously, I would really like to know why so many creators demand credit and have such a cow when they don’t get it. Why share what you create if your main priority is to get credit? Is it a fame thing? Are you trying to make a name for yourself is that why? Arent there other more gratifying and meaningful ways to do this? Do you think EA is going to come hire you or something? Hell even the folks at EA dont get any credit for their meshes, do any of these creators that whine about credit ever credit EA?
It's a matter of respect and/or recognition, not of egotripping. If someone writes a song, paints a painting, designs a house, these people are not frowned upon if they want their names on it. Then why the heck do creators of digital content get all this shit? Especially for a game? If it's meaningful to a creator, then let it be. It's not like we're asking you to grovel in the dirt and lick our shoes clean. We are only asking to put down a username. You get all our stuff for free and you can upload anywhere, only a small token to the original artist is required. Why is that such a problem? And I couldn't care less about EA, I'm in nursing school! :lol:

I think the thing that really I find amusing is that so many creators put so much of their self worth into making game content. No, not amusing, downright sad really. Its pretty simple to add your information in Simpe is it not? I don’t seem to have any trouble putting my name on/in my packages if I choose to, but that’s not enough apparently. Really it seems what everyone wants to some sort of branding or something. I suppose I create things for different reasons than the rest of the creators, I am a minority it seems and that is fine. I don’t want credit or a big hoopla, I find that stressful, just take your toys and go play with them, if something breaks then fine, let me know, otherwise, go-enjoy, do whatever you want with it, I shared it with you and now its yours and I don’t care what you do with it, least of all hail my name. The whole thing is just incredibly pompous in my opinion, but hey whatever floats your boat I guess. I just cant get over the amount of whining associated with a game of all things. Its become a real killjoy.
I personally respect your opinion, but you should have a more open mind and respect other's opinions too. If someone wants his name on something he/she made, wich is only logical in this world, then let it be. Does it hurt you or something? Pushing an extra few keys on your keyboards? :shock:
Reasons to put proper credit:
* If something broke, you will be able to find the creator and tell them easily.
* People will know where to find more of the same creator.
* The creator will appreciate it. (GOSH no, creators should just STFU and not enjoy giving out stuff!! Heavens, it makes them feel good to see their name on something, NOT ALLOWED NOT ALLOWED!! BUUUURN!!)
It is free, it is good, it is given without anything in return except credit, what more do people want!?
