Companies that help make video games, but don't get credited for it:
> Located in Tokyo, Hyde employs 50 people and works on eight to 10 games a year, doing a little bit of everything — programming, art, game design. It works with large publishers such as Konami, Bandai Namco and Square Enix. [...] Yanagihara says that, since many of Japan’s larger publishers have recently stopped growing or have reduced their in-house resources, they have needed to rely on studios like Hyde to fill in the gaps. He also says that, particularly with long-running franchises in Japan, those publishers prefer to keep the specifics of who makes the games out of the public eye.
> For Yanagihara, it comes down to what’s best for the product. He thinks it’s common in the U.S. for players to buy a game because they follow the development team working on it, while in Japan it’s more common for players to buy a game because they’re familiar with the publisher.
> "For example, with Call of Duty a lot of people [in the U.S.] might not think, ‘I’m gonna buy this game because it’s from Activision.’ They might say, ‘I’m going to buy this game because it’s from Infinity Ward,’" he says. "... In Japan, it’s very common to say, ‘I’m going to buy this game because it’s Square Enix. I’m going to buy this game because it’s Atlus. I’m going to buy this game because it’s Nintendo.’
> "If you go the extra step and say, ‘Well actually, it’s created by this person,’ then it kind of weakens the player’s impression because it’s somebody they don’t know, or it’s a developer they didn’t expect. And there’s always a little bit of a fear that if you go that far and say that much, then the title won’t sell as much and it’ll be harder to market." [...]
> On a practical level, it allows Hyde to work on two competing products simultaneously. Yanagihara gives an example from a few years back, when Hyde worked on a soccer game for Sega (which doesn’t have an English title but translates to "Let’s Make a Pro Soccer Club"), while working on another soccer title he can’t name at the same time. By keeping Hyde’s name out of the public eye, those games’ publishers didn’t have to worry about confusing players.

Use technology to change the world, rather than build the next photosharing app or MPU (minimum publishable unit). As Peter Thiel says, "We wanted flying cars—instead we got 140 characters." Be bold and solve big problems.
