I don't think he's talking about himself directly...the video is about how people judge a game to be 'good'. If you watch the video he talks about seeing Fallout as part of the discourse; video reviews, forum discussions, and what I'm assuming is 'let's play' audiences. But you're right about the average gamer not knowing about game devs, though I would say that is less true now than it was when Fallout came out.
