Pros: Extremely passionate developers of sports games, with clear ideas on how to build the best possible tech for these.
Excellent facilities, including a gym, soccer pitch, and beach volleyball court, along with Friday afternoon BBQs on the roof at EAC, are great for team building and general relaxation.
Cons: Management had little clue as to how technology-dependent games are, and how investing in technology pays for itself on cyclical games like sports titles.
