Looking for a new job? Fan of World of Warcraft? Probably best not to mention your WoW habit on your CV. Game designer Raph Koster picked up on a forum thread about recruitment consultants and WoW.
He replied that employers specifically instruct him not to send them World of Warcraft players. He said there is a belief that WoW players cannot give 100% because their focus is elsewhere, their sleeping patterns are often not great, etc.
Ouch. But how true is this? And even if it is couldn't it apply to any game? I'm thinking similarly addictive fare like Football Manager or Call of Duty 4. And let's face it, playing WoW hasn't done Kevin Werbach any harm. But let's see - any WoW fans here struggled at work due to a late night Azeroth session the night before?
