Re: Does age matter working at game company?
I am over 40. I know dozens of 40+ year olds working in the games industry. I also know dozens who left for other opportunities. If you are 40 plus, then yes, you will be judged differently than a 20 year old. People expect you to have some serious skills if you've lived twice as long as the next guy. You will definitely… -
Re: Upgrading ram or new system?

Re: Get a game job!
