Astroturfing for the new ubiSoft Rayman game Raving Rabbids.

I was contemplating trying to get a job at Ubisoft

<cough> email is in my profile </cough>

I wrote a 10 page paper in French about them where I outlined their current business model, their relationship with EA, their problems adjusting to the internet (see above), and the excellent general leadership of Yves Guillemot.

Interesting side factoid about Ubisoft / Rayman, the developer of rayman, Michel Ancel, was knighted as a knight of arts and literature, along with Shigeru Miyamoto and Frederick Raynal. They were the first three video game designers to ever receive this distinction.

The job I was going to apply for would have been titled internet marketing, or community development. It's good to see that there internet marketing division might still need some people.

The best way to do that James Roe is to move to Montreal, the place is filled with development and technical support houses for the games industry. I have been at EA and Ubisoft when I was working for Babel Testing. It's quite easy to get a head start, you start at QA, then move into Industry relations with developers and producers, or open up your own bug testing firm (there are so many things that need to change in accordance with the move to next-gen, hiring simpleton illetirate students is not enough 'personal' experiences).

However community development is far more different, my friend did that with EA and I think it was BF for the UK market. You lurk in forums, try to convey whatever the development team wants to tell the consumer and such.

farhad2000, illiterate or illetirate? ;-)

I have a surprisingly superfluous French and international trade degree, or rather will shortly. I was more interested in their corporate offices in Montreuil, France as I would like to live there for a while. What with the current French labor situation though that seems unlikely.

Illiterate.

Ah! You are gunning for ze premium offices with ze french women, eh?

Well mostly I just want to work on my French, but Ubisoft would certainly be a sweet place to do it. Although I am more than a little irked that they haven't re released battle chess in like forever.

I hate what they did to the Prince of Persia license, I mean okay the games were great but the art style just jumped all over from game to game. The first one captured that magic of the first one when you played it, the second one was made for the angry sex starved emo rock fan, the thrid one was like a mutant of both. But then am getting too picky.

Ooops, I missed. Meant to downvote this ad.

I could've upvoted - even though it's an ad - if it was good. But it's not.

Sorry, but the minimum votes required to graduate to full member status were not received by the deadline of 7 days. Probation member account being terminated.
