    It isn't just a single text file. They have to edit the .dat that would have the credits, calculate time spent in man hours into the budget, prime it for an update for the clients to download, not to mention other various oddities and tasks required for any part of the process.

    Things aren't as simple as .txt, bro.

    You spent more effort coming up with a BS complaint than they will spend changing the credits.

    I think you have a talent for exaggeration.

    EDIT: Also, did anyone else suddenly think of an M&S advertisement the moment they read "It isn't just a single text file..."?

    Given SE's penchant for bureaucracy, it might not be.

    Edit: yep, lol

    Well bro, I know it's not a simple .txt file, but it wouldn't be that particularly difficult nor time consuming. Also they wouldn't have to release it as separate update, they could add the file in 1.19 or 1.20.
