Congrats on the job, Blayne.

Um, would that, by any chance, be or contain proprietary information? Probably not a good way to get off on the right foot with the company, dood...

All there is in it is some cruddy baseball game full of bugs, the only logo is an EA logo.

The game itself is probably proprietary. Emailing it out may well be grounds for them to fire you.

Which would be a shame -- this seems like a great job for you. [Smile] Congrats.

Yes -- don't share any of the company's information with us. You will lose your job.

If is with EA, they are particularly paranoid and harsh.

But congrats!

Make that, you will lose your job for unauthorised sharing of proprietary company information.

Giving a link here to a website will get noticed by the company who provides its content. I've often noticed that when some Hatracker posts a link to a smaller-than-LARGE company, that website's computer gets swamped to the point of causing a time-out for those who click the link. And it's easy to find out who posted a link to an address containing proprietary information, unless the linker is very good at going all blackhat.

Plus sharing that particular site would create more competition for your job.

If you want to share, get permission through email first. Some of the job might be viral marketing specific (parts of) games to those who would be interested. But it ain't worth risking a highly-desired job on a lack of provable permission.

Congratulations, it's always nice to have another cog in the capitalist machine.

I've heard that job can be quite tedious, hope it suits you.

I'm happy to see your proper use of 'passed' tense. [Smile]

edit: I forgot to say, in all sincerity, congrats!

Congrats man. [Smile] I wish I could have had that job in my high school/early college days. I lived to play games.
