It’s disappointing how often we hear very little of the designers and programmers behind classic games. You’d think more would have even a small cult following online, it’s nice to see what the people who created some of your favorites things are up to years later

Tim Cain has a youtube channel but I think most of these people don’t want a social media media account and were just normal devs and don’t have that much to say about the studios.

That’s fair, I can see game devs being the kind of people who don’t like attention

Usually because the studios and publishers go out of their way to avoid promoting individual developers - it’s seen as bad for business (encourages poaching, among other things).
