TO BOLDLY GO...

WHERE LOTS OF THROPHIES HAVE GONE BEFORE



Hello everyone! Since I'll be going... on vacation (not there, and yes, it got pretty necessary) I thought I will provide you with something more lengthy to enjoy in my absence. I suggest you take about an hour of your time, lean back and enjoy this collection of some really awesome workplaces...


VALVE




 

NAUGHTY DOG




 

BLIZZARD




 

EA SPORTS (Canada)




 

EA DICE (Sweden)




 

EA REDWOOD SHORES (California) //italian




 

BUNGIE - Destiny Tour




 

UBISOFT (Toronto)




 

BETHESDA





As certainly do most gamers, so do I more than just like these places. In my opinion everybody who got a job in such an environment can consider him/herself lucky as hell. Of course work is hard and often a lot, but... but... fitness centers, game libraries, chill-out lounges, cafeterias, arcade machines, statues, theaters, conference rooms, even soccer fields. - They have everything! And essentially now you know where your money goes...

You know what such company buildings remind me of? - The Starship Enterprise... or any other Federation Starship from the Star Trek universe, basically. Is that good? I think so. It is the perfect place to work and at the same time relax and socialize with open- and like-minded people that share one common goal and philosophy. A protected and clean environment that finds the ideal balance between work and leisure, structure and freedom, severity and fun. Yep, Star Trek showed us the way, we made it real. The only thing missing is that the studios also use some of their numerous floors for living quarters, but who knows what the future will bring, right? Maybe at some point those places will even hover in the skies. - Wasn't Apple building their latest headquarter in the shape of an UFO?

Play more! Strive more!
