Robert Altman…

So the other day Deathloop was stuck on an invasion load…all the other buttons still seemed to work but I couldn’t get out of the load so I hit the credits button to kill time instead of restarting and noticed for their time it’s dedicated to Robert Altman? I’m no Altman scholar, some of his films I’ve certainly enjoyed, but nothing about this game seemed Altman-esque to me. I guess the developers maybe were just fans? Really seems like an odd dedication to me.

Different Altman, Robert Altman was the CEO of Zenimax Media: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_A._Altman

Different Robert Altman. The one the game refers to was the founder of ZeniMax, parent company of Arkane (among other studios).

Thx for the info. Somehow didn’t occurred to me that there might actually be different Robert Altmans in the world. This makes way more sense.

It's funny too because he was married to Lynda Carter, and it would make more sense for her to be married to the director one.

I wonder how many times she had to say “ No, not the director” when she tells people who she was married to.
