Yeah, they'd have a bunch of nerdy guys who can program and design a game, and then one or two of them write a story. With Mega Man, the director wrote it based on his love of Tokusatsu series and manga/anime he grew up with. He doesn't have a degree in writing. Often a professional artist would be hired for the box art.
Everyone gushes about the writing and story of Silent Hill 2. not a single creative writing degree among the team.
Fromsoft? Miyazaki is a programmer by trade.
Fumito Ueda? He's literally has a degree in VISUAL ARTS.
does anyone know what Hideo Kojima's undergrad degree is off hand? Economics. But he's an odd one, as he wrote fiction the whole time and included a short story in his thesis, which implies he wanted to be a writer but was pressured into getting a "real degree".
You can repeat this endlessly: almost no professional writers were employed in the gaming golden ages of the 70s to early 00s.
