External translators who've worked on major franchises including The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing have been refused credits and locked into decade-long NDAs.
We do, standard contract law. If your contract says you should be getting credit, and you aren’t given credit, that’s an enforcable contract violation.
The correct answer is because game developers are, as a rule, not unionised. No one is pushing developers or publishers to properly credit their staff, so a lot of them simply don’t.

I’m surprised this is even legal. Why do we not have a law requiring credits to properly give credit?
