Linking this because it's relevant to something I've thought about and felt before. Companies are made of a lot of people, and often only a handful of people actually get credit for the work of a couple hundred people. For example, Disney. As far as some people are concerned, there are only twelve people who have ever worked at Disney: Walt Disney, the Nine Old Men, Glen Keane, and Andreas Deja. Yet the credits for the movies scroll on and on, because in reality, the teams have always been much longer than that. Whenever Valve does something, Gabe Newell gets all the blame (or all the credit). It's frustrating, from an artistic standpoint.
...But then again, maybe some artists do it intentionally? I know some people who are artists, myself included, who really don't want to be in the spotlight. I want my art out there, I want to have something I did be displayed on a movie screen, but I also never want to be an obscenely rich asshole who gets hounded by the paparazzi.
