Nutting Associates and Dave Nutting Associates were two different video games companies that should not be confused.
Nutting Associates was founded in the late 1960s by Bill Nutting and went bankrupt in 1973. The company was responsible for developing Bushnell's Computer Space, the first coin-operated video game ever.
Dave Nutting Associates was founded by Bill Nutting's own brother Dave Nutting. Dave Nutting Associates worked with Midway for many of their releases, notably the Gun Fight arcade game as well as the Astrocade home computer. At some point, Dave Nutting Associates even went on being acquired by Bally before being shut down by Bally during the video game crash of 1983.
Therefore Dave Nutting Associates didn't not created Computer Space, Nutting Associates did. The redirect at Nutting Associates will have to be removed as well as the section on this article stating that they've created Computer Space. Right now I don't have time to proceed with the modifications but will in the course of the week if someone hasn't already did.
