JOB POSTING: Multiplayer Gameplay Software Engineer

It's true, you won't have to play a multiplayer game. And I guess if they are making a game with multiplayer components, it is good that EA is bringing in people with that specialty onto the team. I still don't want to use anything multiplayer, and "won't touch it with a ten foot pole." describes my feelings. My experience with multiplayer is with Facebook games like Coral Island, where you join "Teams" of other players. You control the groups and the who, but whenever someone in your group causes you trouble, you have next to no option but to leave the "team." This, in a group sims experience would bring up questions in "What happens to the Sims and the builds done in that save. I realize many players have multiple saves and may not feel strongly over one, but then some of us put a lot of work into our games, building neighborhoods. Making Sims. Joining a friend to work together on a save can be helpful for some, I do admit that. But Humans are crazy sometimes. What about when that "Friend" you only know through social media turns out to be trouble?

The only referees in this would be the same folks currently under criticism on Twitter for blocking people who simply speak out and complain about the console experience.
