Lots of things conspired to kill credit screens.
>The job market for tech went insane, providing companies a disincentive to give developers tools to transfer prestige between companies
>Source control and code review processes improved, making it much harder to hide screens
>Companies are much more security minded, and what seems like a funny joke credits screen someone might add as a prank may be the code surface that gets you or your customers hacked, causing potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in damages.
>Modern metrics tracking incentivizes devs to focus on their work objectives rather than working on unrequested bonus features like a credits screen
I’d love to see them return, but the deck seems stacked against.
