I think it’s very good that they intend to hire passionate devs. It’s really hard to fake that kind of thing. I’m thinking now, about what I could say my favorite piece of media is. I’d likely say Nier Automata but trying to explain my love for that game is such a complicated endeavor. If it’s about the way something made me feel I’d likely say Gurren Lagann which would be easier for me to express. All in all, I may buy this book just to get a feel for what this industry looks like. Great article

Thinking twice…
Done.
One Piece is my favorite manga.

Must be unfortunate not being able to enjoy things because they’re popular.

If you actually read it, only one opinion was asked and they asked a child.
Also most great anime writers respect each other, not feel threatened by them and have to make a whole story of why they are better than others, all cause they lost popularity and focus in sales.
If you can’t even read a page fully it’s no wonder you don’t like op, you can’t even read past a title.

One Piece actually has a decent story and amazing lore behind it.
Anything mainstream generally gets ired by fan bases and haters.
If you can tell the idea of the overall plot and make it sound decent anything is good to say.
Some amazing manga got ruined by adaptions.

Sounds like they want programmers that spend their time playing games, and have social skills to act as sales as well. Yeah that is a small target of staff. And a waste of time as most of the devs are never going to get an interview let alone be out in live sales pushes to customers. Is it also a surprise that I have played none of those series of games?

Kinda sounds like a ridiculous standard

It’s a dumpster fire.

It isn’t that hard 😆
