Obligatory: “please refrain from hot takes” until we get more info, but it’s not looking good for Santa Monica - putting anyone that worked on the game for even 5 minutes doesn’t cost anything. “Minimum criteria” lol.

A) It could have been a geninune mistake on Santa Monica's part and they just forgot.
B) someone really hates her at the company
Regardless - a person should still be credited... small effort or not.

According to her LinkedIn profile, she was an Intern at SMS for four months.
Are interns normally credited? I have no idea.

How much effort is it to add someone who contributed to the game, in the credits?
That’s gotta suck.

i forget which game i played but there was a section where peoples fuckin pet dogs were thanked.
whoever is in charge of producing the credits, get your shit together. contributions deserve credit. i'll even go so far as to say if you were crunching at the fuckin office and you had to order takeout to eat at work, hop sings chinese takeout or whatever the fuck should get a special thanks too.

No idea who that is.
I'm not saying she should or should not be in the credits. I'm not in the industry and I have no idea how this works.

I guess this is something like the producers, of you do over 50% you get the credit.
There must be some kind of industry or studio rule (written or not).
I don't know, maybe they just don't like her.

A background check? I looked her up on LinkedIn. That may seem like an exhaustive investigation to you, but in reality it is a simple google search. As to why, why not? You have a problem with adding pertinent information to the thread? That's a you problem.

Means that if you worked only for a few days or only made a tiny portion of the work you don't get credited in the same way than the ones who spent years on it working during all or most of the project, or at least during a long portion of time.
Hyperbole example: imagine the game has 3 music producers, 2 of them worked during the whole project or almost, across let's say 3 years. These 2 get credited in the game. The other one only worked during a couple of weeks/months doing some intern stuff and after that leaves/gets fired/doesn't pass the test period. And maybe even a big portion of what this person did was crap and someone else had to replace it or got cut. This third one doesn't get credited in the game.
There is no written rule but typically this is how it's done in the industry. Regarding the amount of work needed to appear in the game, there's no standard and even most companies doesn't have a specific amount of time working on the studio needed to be listed in the credits.
In the studio where I worked, at the start nobody got credited because the boss was afraid that the competion could hire us. Years later the bosses got credited and later everybody got credited with no specific rules. Some designer in charge of the texts of the game or some programmer simply kept updating the credits, or sometimes even the CM. In a few cases we forgot to include someone who was working during a short period of time in the game and added that person later. In other cases they weren't included on purpose. In other cases they were added as "Support artist" or "Support programmers" etc or under "Special thanks". We didn't follow any specific standard or rule, whoever filled the credits for that game decided the method.

It added absolutely nothing, and you even admitted you have no idea how this works, right? So why bother with this pointless piece of information?

Topher really hurt you in the last thread huh
But You are wasting time which you could have spend on being concerned.

Actually it's not pointless. We now know she was an intern there along with her exact roles while the information in the OP didn't provide that.
In all honesty the only things pointless in this thread are your posts.

Schrödinger's reactions. Are the lol reactions to this post laughing at the poster or along with him? Since both the intended target and the person being supported lol'd this post.

Of course I don't know how this works. Neither do you. I posted her information and asked a question in reference to it. If you are unable to figure out how my post relates to the topic at hand then again, that is your problem.

Sorry that the extensive Sony background check team is keeping you in check. Someone has to do the dirty work.

Are you a bot or a real person?
It's got everything to do with figuring out whether or not she has a case here, it's called fact finding. I know that might seem like an alien concept to you and people of your ilk but you might want to try it out one day. It will help you come to more logical conclusions rather than ones based purely on emotion.

lol...I never said she shouldn't be credited. I asked if interns normally are. If you are going to point to the "fools brigade" then start with the fools who are advocating rushing to judgement without all the facts.
In this case, that would be you.

Boohoo, my names not in the credits that NOBODY READS. Apparently, she didn’t do enough. SSM will talk to her if she reaches out to th,e besides twitter, I’m sure.
Did you get paid? then nobody cares.
