It's a tricky question on whether or not video games have "authors". I know that whenever I play a game, I almost never consider the team that developed it. I only imagine the end product as if it materialized as it is. It's as if a game is a monstrous entity that sucks the life energy out of developers. It does help to distinguish the "author" when looking at behind the scenes videos, though.
Develops that I would consider to be "authors" are individual names often attached to games: Shigeru Miyamoto, Hideo Kojima, Gabe Newell, and etc. In reality, thousands of other people deserve credit, which begs to question why these names stand out.
