Speak of the Devil...Timothy Cain released this video today, wherein he talks about how despite having only 1/10th the sales of another of his games, The Outer Worlds, Fallout remains the project he is most know for, and which continues to be a part of the 'zeitgeist'. He actually used that word, I wonder if he's lurking here . I can't help but post it here.
If you really want to talk about 'forgotten' games, then Arcanum is that game, it also might be his best. The Outer Worlds might soon be too, who knows. I don't really see the influence of those games on the industry.
Most people don't know any game devs at all, even gamers. Miyazaki is probably the most well known if you dont include Toddy.
So you get into a bit of self selection where the only people likely contacting him are Fallout superfans. Also all of his projects since wildstar are delibratly cashing in on crpg nostalgia so again slef selection.
