With Zoonami being in the news lately (having announced their first game), I was sort of wondering about the scope of all those "defections" we heard about.
I found an archive of game credits at
MobyGames, so I started looking up who was who in the Goldeneye/Perfect Dark credits, and wrote up a small list of what other stuff they've been credited with at Rare.
I know that this probably won't do justice to some people's contributions to things, but it's the best I can come up with. If you know more, just chime in.
Anyways, here's the people who were known to have left Rare.

numerous credits as a game tester
Perfect Dark had a large amount of what appear to be "gag credits" (like in Banjo Kazooie), but it also had some "serious credits", which I mostly focused on. I tossed in a few of the gag ones though, in quotation marks.
It looks like there are still a lot of key people with lengthy careers left at Rare, but listing them looks like a much bigger job, and I almost don't know where to start. I might add more some other time if I'm bored.
