[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8441095, member: 4534"] I think he gets more credit largely because he's part of the creative process fans actually care about and most of us don't really care about how the sausage is made. I don't really have a keen interest in the how Paramount Pictures' corporate structure was set up around the time they released [I]Raiders of the Lost Ark, [/I]I don't really care who was running Tor when they released [I]Eye of the World[/I], and when I played [I]Wolfenstein 3D [/I]I didn't really give any thought to the people working at Id Studios. Don't get me wrong, many of these behind-the-scenes examples might make from some compelling stories. You know, to be fair, I find this used to be true. I've seen a marked improvement in the general behavior and hygiene among gamers in general at the FLGS. Cat Piss Man* used to be a known element of every game store and convention I went to but I cannot remember the last time I saw him. Ass cracks used to abound at the local game stores but in recent years they've all but disappeared. (Part of me wants to give credit to 2014's Ass-Gate where someone posted pictures of them posing next to ass cracks at a Magic Tournament looking disappointed.) *I remember at my first convention I ran into a girl my age (we were teenagers) who had been to several conventions. We got to chatting and somehow ended up talking about this one guy there who was heavy set, crude, and stank to high heavens and she said, "Of course his name is Ogre. And he smells like one. You'll find an Ogre at every convention." [/QUOTE]
