I haven't made a job posting based thread in a while, but when I saw GAF's favorite topics combined into one I thought people would want to have a discussion.
So, now for the questions:
1.) Do you think it's a good idea to hire with a metacritic requirement?
2.) So, their multiplayer component is sounding larger than originally expected (or it's very large in their next title). Any thoughts on what it is?
