Interesting scoop on the recruitment story. The unpaid writing test requirement caught my eye more than the AI controversy honestly. Lots of game studios have shifted to similar hiring practices lately, and I've seen freinds in the industry complain about doing 20+ hours of unpaid "tests" that end up being actual work the company uses. The emigration policy combined with that setup creates a weird power dynamic where candidates invest heavily upfront with no guarantee. Having gone through a few of these processes myself, they really do filter for people who either have financial cushions or are desparate enough to gamble on it. Makes you wonder what kind of workplace culture that cultivates longterm.

I keep hearing gamers claim Baldur's Gate 3 is the second greatest game ever made - just behind GTA.

Apparently, I'm from Mars or something, because I can't find anything appealing about BG3. Because it has good graphics? Would these "gamers" eat a turd because it has been dressed up with "great graphics?"

No thanks. Zero interest in BG3 or anything from that studio. Their new Divinity trailer was so revolting I felt soiled.
