Last week, our class took a field trip. When you take a field trip in a game design course, where do you go? Why, to Electronic Arts, of course.
EA Canada is right around the corner in Burnaby, BC, just a hop, skip, and a jump outside of Vancouver.
After spending time filling out forms and playing around with some super fancy swivel chairs in one of the EA meeting rooms, we were escorted around the premises by EA employees.
In game design, you’ve got to work hard AND play hard, and at EA, it shows. The facility includes a soccer field, basketball court, state of the art gym, library stocked with games and movies, and fancy coffee machines on every floor. Not a bad place to work.
