Game Developer and Game Designer, what's the difference?

The way I look at it, it can essentially mix into the same thing...BUT
One manages the whole deal(deals with the contracts, brings people together to make the team and such), and one draws out the way the game ends up looking and feeling. One programs the stuff the other one comes up with.
In this instance, Ed Boon was//is the Developer//programmer..Tobias was the Designer//artist. Although, they both were//are programmers...they just had strong points within the position they played for Mortal Kombat, as a brand.
You'll notice, even in old videos and such, that Tobias mainly keeps his mouth shut, and lets Boon do the talking....You can get paid for playing that role, and it is often indicative of being the person who deals with other people(organizing the MkTeam, and talks the most at any meetings, negotiates contracts, vendors[the other company "bosses" that will sell mortal kombat], sponsors...ect)
Sortawink
Since Boon has gotten a couple raises since the first few games, he's now like the "CEO of Mortal Kombat(National//International vendors, and contractual dealings) ...but at the same time, he's a "Sub-Boss" for Midway...the "parent-company" for all the games Midway puts out.
Which really means, that if he's not dealing internationally yet, he's probably in the marketing and distribution meetings and so on right now...and pretty much not programming anymore. He's getting money for the work he did in the 90's now.
Someone has taken the spot that he was in, when Mortal Kombat got popular by now. He's likely even given parts of the franchise(stock=$$), to other people on the Team that were with him since the beginning...
==
Why do I suspect such? Cuz essentially, I play the same roll on a daily basis around my living situation...and on MKO...
I'm just not getting paid for it. wink
Hence.....the college meeting tomorrow. grin

On the first page of our story,
The future seemed so bright.
But this thing turned out so evil,
I don’t know why I’m still surprised.
Even angels have their wicked schemes,
And you take that to new extremes.
But you’ll always be my hero,
Even though you lost your mind...

Hmm.. t.A.T.u's new song, 220, is hekktikly awsome, but its like pretty much all just Yulia and nearly no Lena, which is not cool. Would be a really great song, but its simply not a t.A.T.u song, just a Julia song. Uncool.

Replace "Snap" with "Hunter" or a synonym of "hunter", then yes it would totally, most definitely, possibly, could be, definitely won't be, obviously won't be awesome.

Flying over darkened skies the battle will call
Distant angels crying in the eye of the storm
And the world falls under the starlight shining from heavens below
Long years of pain and sorrow searching for more
Cry for the touch of angels never before
And the stars fall on the horizon onwards and up through the pain

Back to WOW, lol.

Damn game is too addicting. lol
So much that I've not even turned on my 360 at all save to just download the free halo3 map pack. Didn't even play the maps at all just downloaded them, shut it off and went back to playing WOW.
Gotta play some 360 to get me away from it. lol
