Again, we're probably being too "public" with talking about this stuff, but that's who we are and will always be...
Ha! I was just listening to some history lectures and this subject was brought up. Apparently, some of the most famous historical figures are famous precisely because they did the same thing--were so open, always writing letters, diaries, whatever. Of course, that's great for historians, because they can rely on that "treasure trove" of history to uncover facts about an era, and by doing so, make that person famous (even if that person really wasn't all that special). I'm sure that's why certain game developers have attracted so much more attention; they are better at writing and talking about what they do and share it more, whereas other equally talented folks are just too silent and secretive for their own good.
