People who dont care for fps are not going to know nor care about who John Carmack is. Plus normal people dont usually read the credits on anything be it a game or movie that doesnt mean they dont know games or movies. |
Even people who care for FPSs may not know. My brother-in-law plays FPSs all the time and is enamored with the genre, but hasn't a clue who Carmack, Bleszinski or anyone else is., and he's pretty "hardcore" when it comes to FPSs...
Not everyone wants or needs to know who made what. Personally, I like to know because you normally can determine if games or movies made by certain designers, producers or directors are good or not - like Uwe Boll. If you have ever watched a movie of his, chances are you would rather gouge your eyes out rather than suffer such ignominy again, but the only way to know that you are potentially walking into another Uwe Boll stinker is to know that Uwe Boll made such movies in the first place. This happens with games as well.
