The game’s Creator is the Roll20 user who originally created the game. There is only ever one Creator for a Roll20 game. They have complete control over all of the game's settings and any subscription perks (Dynamic Lighting, F/X Tool, Mod Scripts , etc…) that the game can benefit from are based on which subscription level the creator’s account currently has. Likewise, content such as Game Add-ons must be bought on the Creator’s account in order for them to be added to the game.

Bob is shown as the game creator in the top right corner of the campaign's main page

This is mostly related to General & Default settings that are accessed in the menus outside the game: Game Management

The creator is always a GM, but can choose to rejoin as player if they want.

You can't change who the creator of a game is, but Roll20 have been known to sometimes transfer games between accounts if you contact them and give a goood reason.
