They will also fire employees if they don't conform and remove their name from the credits, sometimes for no pay if they can legally do that (I don't know how much of an issue it is here but I know it to be a big issue at least in other places)
So, would you say that this is all the major gaming companies, or the least popular ones that people pass up on? - Like for an example, Sony Interactive Entertainment (which is a major gaming company). From my perspective, I'd say it depends on who you work for. Also, removing my name from the credits sounds ridiculous. If I'm under contract, I'd get a lawyer to help me read the fine print because that's grounds for a lawsuit.
