Mizobe explains, &#8220;In the interview, we ask them to explain the game mechanics of the titles that rank high in their Steam playtime, why they think those specific mechanics were adopted, and what makes that title stand out when compared to other games in the same genre.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Mizobe says, &#8220;Pocketpair is recruiting game creators who are true Steam gamers!&#8221;, going on to explain that the company wants its developers &#8220;to be playing indie games that are only available on Steam.&#8221; That&#8217;s the sign of a true gamer, I suppose.<\/p>\n<p>Pocketpair&#8217;s head of publishing, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Bucky_cm\/status\/2014706549982409060?s=20\" target=\"_blank\">John Buckley, backs up the CEO&#8217;s statement, saying<\/a>, &#8220;So hilariously true. When I first joined, I was grilled if I knew games like Slay the Spire.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pocketpair is a company that truly is built by gamers, and our CEO is very adamant to keep it that way. A luxury we have because we\u2019re 100% independent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s certainly an interesting approach to the hiring process, demanding applicants &#8216;prove&#8217; not only their claims but also that they&#8217;re well-versed in the industry. Indie games are often some of the most creative experiences out there, so it&#8217;s a good font of knowledge to pull from.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"2dcfbcd8-dbf1-4572-8c85-9651f9632e91\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/palworld-developer-pocketpair-requires-job-applicants-prove-their-gamer-credentials-if-the-number-of-steam-games-played-is-0-we-basically-pass-on-them.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"2dcfbcd8-dbf1-4572-8c85-9651f9632e91\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/palworld-developer-pocketpair-requires-job-applicants-prove-their-gamer-credentials-if-the-number-of-steam-games-played-is-0-we-basically-pass-on-them\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s not uncommon to sugarcoat things in a job interview.
