Kixeye makes a recruitment video that made me laugh out loud

By on August 1, 2012

Kixeye is a free-to-play games company that has carved out a niche (a big niche) making games for gamers.

This is their recuitment video. It takes marvellously-pitched swipes at the public perception of Zynga and EA, as well as targeting Kabam. It ends well too. Whoever wrote this is a marketer of unusual comedic talent.

Or at least I thought so. Watch it for yourself.

    I am incredibly happy at my current position, and I still checked out their jobs page.

    That makes this a most successful (and very, very entertaining) video deservedly going viral as we speak.

    Hilariously, the two most liked comments are:

    Like this post if you work in the games industry and watched this at work
    andriuscls – 117

    Because you’re all fired.

    Kind of took my breath away……..I will laugh about it later.
