Sorry, I was being too obscure.  Reference to the funny ign preview
of Deus Ex (that Erik of Old Man Murray titled "Great Moments in
Game Writing"):

  "There's a tendency among the press to attribute the creation of a
  game to a single person," says Warren Spector, creator of Thief
  and Deus Ex.

The powers that be here are all pretty great in terms of mentioning
that there's a whole team behind the game, but the game journalists
themselves still occasionally attribute the entire game to the
individual they're interviewing.  Especially the higher-profile
folk.
