This sounds like a great opertunity - I know I am no where near ready to apply for something like this, but I have spoken to 1 of the guys there and they are really interested in getting the positions filled.

Also they say, dont worry about the work visa stuff and all that at first, the question is "can you relocate?" then after you talk to them, all of that may be able to be worked out. They have ppl in their team from all over the world.

I seriously hope they get some good ppl applying, because it sounds like they are getting ready for a really cool game.
