in general know little about them. I showed a making of "Skyrim" clip to my girlfriend, she thought it was just a few guys in a hole in the wall office that made these games. Truth is they are very advanced and complex and cost millions to make and they employ hundreds if not thousands of people in numerous disciplines. Much like Hollywood, ahem..
