Industry Jobs: Rockstar Games wants you

A banner flying proudly on the Edge Online main page displays what could be a dream come true for gaming fans. Rockstar Games, developer of such hits as Grand Theft Auto IV and Midnight Club: Los Angeles is looking for fresh blood. Of course you'll need more than just a desire to land a gig there, experience is paramount as the developer is looking for everything from programmers to designers. Kicking the dirt because you don't have the required schoolin'? Well, don't fret because game testers are required at some of the studios including Rockstar Toronto, makers of The Warriors.

It's a shame that Rockstar isn't looking for a new lawyer because we know of one guy who is in the market for a ticket out of Florida and a decent paying job. Got the skill? Apply today! Don't? Then don't make yo' self look a foo!

Looks like they could use some new web developers. I think this is the slowest website I've ever seen!

If you don't mind me asking, why is this news?

Why not post that Valve, Blizzard, Microsoft, etc etc etc all have job postings?

I fail to see how this job posting is different and why it is being considered news worthy considering there are tons of jobs for tons of company's out there?

Rockstar having been posting ads on edge-online for ages, and in the mag for even longer. Odd post..
