    Many times the video gaming industry can seem like a black box without any way to get inside. For those who are keen on making big on the gaming industry and want to develop games like Pokemon series, you need to have the right strategy to get your foot into the door. And to discover these strategies you need to understand how the current generation of game developers got started.
    Anyways, read the below. This might help.

    Kind of disagree with the culture fit thing. Just feels like an excuse for discrimination. The example given I feel is a poor example as well. It really depends on how much information the person gives to determine if it's a red flag. If they share enough info on their FB or whatever social media accounts they ja e that would identify any specific person other than themselves I would understand the concern. No statement was made about people who also keep their stuff private and only viewing by close friends and family as well. I've heard of employers using that as an excuse not to hire someone which feels like more discrimination on the basis of privacy.

      I agree that it’s discriminatory but when you think about it the whole hiring process is discriminatory no matter what. The fact that he said they don’t want to hire someone they don’t wanna work with is discrimination and they are open about it, but of course no one wants to hire someone they don’t wanna work with. The only way to not discriminate is to hire on a random basis.

      @@Smiley957 when it comes to work I'm a strong believer in hiring people who can get the job done or at the very least hiring people who can learn how to get the job done. The only thing related to culture I feel so be included are things such as if the person is a thief, or prone to get into fights with coworkers, etc. Often I feel the idea of having someone who is a culture fit goes beyond this criteria and may often be used to exclude someone who may be able to get the job done, but may also question how things are done. This stifles potential innovation imo.
