Fallout Season 2 Heads to New Vegas Next Week as Lead Game Writer Decries Lack of Credit

John Gonzalez says game narratives operate under work-for-hire terms that leave creators without on-screen attribution or residuals.

Overview

  • Prime Video premieres Season 2 on December 17 with a weekly rollout through February 4, shifting from the binge release of Season 1.
  • The new season features Fallout: New Vegas landmarks and factions, including Mr. House and the Novac dinosaur motel.
  • Gonzalez calls it “very odd” to see characters he created appear in the show with no credit and no residuals, as reported in a PC Gamer interview.
  • Collider reports that New Vegas contributors and original franchise creators Leonard Boyarsky and Tim Cain are not slated for on-screen credit or financial participation.
  • Despite his concerns, Gonzalez praised Season 1’s writing and its take on the Brotherhood of Steel, saying he “really enjoyed” the series.
