yo, game devs

I've had a suspicion for awhile due to knowing people in various other entertainment industries such as film and tv.

When people who work at big AAA studios do poo poo like go "I'm the guy who did (big game)", is this always an instant indication they're a lying sack of poo poo? Everyone I know who works on film and tv just treats it like work, even when they're free to discuss things they don't care to, and generally don't toot their own horn.

Then you get people who are like, "yOu KnOw I mAdE wOw, RiGhT?" and I have to wonder why people would care to claim that kind of poo poo. How do normal developers feel about this behavior?

Are you comparing a bunch of guys in the pub who were extras or helped move equipment in the Avengers to some ex-Bioware writers/designers/artists trying to kickstart an indie project. Because if so then obviously you aren't comparing like to like.
