When we are considering who makes the best games, we think of Myamoto and Kojima, but in actual fact they do not do all that much, as Myamoto is more of a superviser now, than an active 'maker'.
They do not partake in the time consuming programming and endless bug spotting that is crucial if you want to release a really good game. They do not map each game pixel by time consuming pixel to give each game that feeling that makes a game feel 'right'.
And when you consider the ground breaking games which have been released this year, you must realise that this is an awe inspiring job, which will take a lot of patience.
Instead i think that we often fail to remember that there are more than Myamoto and Kojima etc working on these games, there are the technical wizards, such as the programmers, the testers and the people that make things actually happen.
They may get a brief mention in the end credits of a computer game, but do we actually bother reading the names as they scroll up our screen? not really, they are the background workers that we wouldn't recognise in the street, but they are the backbone of the industry and without them the games that we love to play wouldnt be possible...
So i dedicate this post to the men behind the scenes of the videogames industry and i would like to say congratulations on a job well done.
