Actually, I still do, but I've given up on the dream. Then again, it's not the dream job you may think it is. |

Racist? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Read your first post. You write "on hurr." You made me think of how hip hop culture is colliding with videogames (Marc Ecko's game and 50 cent's game, as pictured). I doubt these games will be any good though. I don't mean to burst your bubble. If you have the dedication, go for it. I just want you to know that it's not just playing games. If that's what you want to do, work for a videogame magazine. |

There was a blog by the wife of an EA game designer that described the way EA programmers are treated. It wasn't pretty. It's available here. |

That was during the whole Evil EA thing, when they tried to take over ubisoft, got a monopoly on NFL licensing and were pushing their workers hard. |

Yeah, programmers have it rough with a lot of big companies. But at least with video game design, there are other jobs than just programming--story, artwork, music, that sort of thing. |
