Come on now. It should be perfectly clear that playing video games and beer pong with colleagues is not a requirement for a job as a software developer.

- _cs2017_ 7y agoIt is not a secret that some famous game studios turned away experienced software engineers simply because they didn't play video games. Expecting employees to work on weekends is even more common, and not just in the gaming industry. Please remove "partying" from my list; it was dumb of me to mention it, it only makes my example less realistic.
- yawaramin 7y ago> game studios turned away experienced software engineers simply because they didn't play video games That's troubling but perhaps not a smoking gun, given the specific nature of the job. You wouldn't hire a movie director who never watched movies. > Expecting employees to work on weekends is even more common I know, and that's really unfortunate–and if the employee isn't compensated properly or at least given time off in lieu–is wage theft.
