Time flies when you're having fun and creating incredible gaming experiences... This month, we are celebrating our studio's 8th anniversary! 🎂🎈 From the first line of code to the cheers of our players, the journey was intense: we've faced challenges (numerous challenges!), embarked on creative quests, and leveled up together as a team. Some of us are newbies, some are pioneers who saw the company started from scratch… but each member brings their unique skills and passion to the table. From the early brainstorming sessions to the late-night coding marathons, each of you dedicated a lot of your precious time and effort to our team. Thank you for being a part of it 🙌 Thank you for 8 incredible years: to our players, partners, and every member of the gaming community. You were a part of our journey in this or that way. As we celebrate our past, we also look ahead to the future. Exciting adventures, new challenges, and innovative creations await.

#Cracking the Code to AAA Gaming 🎮 🕹️ Are you an experienced professional looking to make your mark in the AAA gaming industry, but constantly facing roadblocks like “at least 1 shipped title” or “experience in AAA titles”? 🚧 ❓ Here’s the conundrum: Do these requirements truly reflect a candidate’s potential to create outstanding AAA game art? Are we overlooking hidden talents? ❓ Is it fair to cast aside individuals solely based on past titles? Don’t they deserve a chance to showcase their skills and knowledge, maybe through assessments or alternative interview formats? ❓ Are we ready to challenge the conventional approach and foster an inclusive gaming world where everyone, regardless of their previous titles, can get a shot at pursuing their dreams in AAA game development? 💥 Let’s spark a conversation and transform the industry into one where opportunity isn’t just reserved for the privileged few. It’s time to level the playing field in the AAA gaming cosmos. 🌌 #GameChangers #InclusiveGaming #QuestionsOfOpportunity #NewHorizons #gameindustry #talentteam #hr #recruiters #innovation #management

How long does the median employee work at tier-1 gaming companies? 3.4 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬. I took the top 40 companies in 2024 by revenue and looked at their LinkedIn pages for insights about the median employee tenure. Below is a list of companies with values: Konami Digital Entertainment 8.3 Tencent 7.4 NEXON Co., Ltd. （Head Office／Japan）7.1 Square Enix 6.2 Com2us Corporation 5.4 IGG 5.4 BANDAI NAMCO Studios Inc. 5.3 Netmarble 5.2 37Games 5.0 King 4.8 Plarium 4.8 Electronic Arts (EA) 4.6 Aniplex 4.5 Cygames 4.3 Zynga 4.2 Big Fish Games 4.2 NetEase Games 3.8 FunPlus 3.7 Activision 3.7 Supercell 3.4 Peak 3.4 Lilith Games 3.4 Yostar Games 3.4 Playtika 3.3 Century Games 3.2 Microfun 2.9 Garena 2.9 Playrix 2.8 Niantic, Inc. 2.8 Kakao Games 2.8 SciPlay 2.5 Product Madness 📱2.5 Roblox 2.3 Top Games Inc 2.3 Scopely 2.2 Moon Active 2.2 NCSOFT 2.0 MOONTON GAMES 2.0 miHoYo 1.8 Dream Games 1.3 I think in reality these numbers are slightly lower, since people who have worked for a short time in the company may not have shown this in their profiles. And also, people may not have worked for a company for a long time, but do not update their profile, because in their country LinkedIn has little effect on finding a job.

Let's flip the script on video games. Long tagged as the enemy of productivity, it's time we look at video games through a different lens. What if I told you they're not just about virtual races and battles, but also about shaping real-world success? Consider this. Video games are no longer just a source of entertainment. They now play pivotal roles in developing critical skills. Strategic thinking, problem-solving, and team collaboration - all tangible skills honed in the virtual world. But that's not all. In an increasingly digital age, the gaming industry offers a plethora of career opportunities. Game designers, developers, testers, strategists - the list goes on. And let's not forget the booming sector of esports, a sphere that's breaking conventional norms and redefining the concept of sportsmanship. So, the next time someone dismisses video games as a waste of time, remember - they're looking at an outdated narrative. It's time to update our perspectives and embrace the transformative power of this digital realm. Engage with this new narrative. Start viewing video games not as an obstacle, but as a pathway to success. Share your thoughts about this perspective shift, and let's reframe the conversation together. #gaming #success #productivity
