Being that it's EA, it would become a $400 litter box.

Glad they're hiring, it's hard enough finding a job in this economy. Although, I don't like EA, but I do associate with them. Hooked on sims =[

Why do people always need to have experience?
Doesn't interest matter more than experience?

What are you with a 50yrs old programmer, who has 30yrs of programming experience, but does it against his will?

 

[Guest]

Youth and energy is no match for experience and treachery. Really!

Anyway, the "next gen" is probably the next gen Wii, rumored to come out in about a year, and with more Xbox 360-like performance than the current Wii. Neither MS nor Sony has anything close to a next-gen console yet, AFAICT. Not even specs for what one would be.

if you're a game freak , then being a game engineer is one of the coolest things .

Hopefully these new developers they hire will bring back Sim City proper, not this Sim Societies crap.

If they are 50 years old, I doubt they are software engineers that are programming against their will. EA seems to be looking to get experienced people to build a whole new team. You can't have newbies in charge. I bet they look internally for people who understand the company.

EALA... Wii? What in the world? Have you even heard of Command and Conquer? Medal of Honor? EALA, being formerly Westwood Studios?

Do some research, dude.

I can't even imagine what you were thinking.

*EDIT

Not saying they haven't made a Wii title, but that they're known for more than (if not even not known for) a simple Wii title.
