Montreal Area: Ubisoft is looking for Playtesters

[Slave]

I'm making a shamefull ad for my work.

I been working at Ubisoft Montreal for +12yrs now, and recently they want to launch a big campaign for Playtesting.

What is playtesting? You get to play unreleased games from Ubisoft (such as upcoming WatchDogs, the Next Assassin Creed, the next FarCry, etc) and give your honest opinion... game too hard? too easy? boring? What would you like in the game? etc.

Requirement for the playtesting:
-Able to get to our home office (downtown montreal)
-Doesnt work at a video game company
-Interested in video games
-Never playtested at ubisoft before.

Bonus if you are 15yrs old and less
Bonus if you are a women 25-55yrs old
Bonus if you are Bilingual
(those cathegories are "ultra rare" apparently)

Underage kids are also welcomed, we do have educational games too.

Of course you get paid for playtesting... but I dont remember the money details... you can also decide to chose Games instead of money.

All you have to do is signup here:

In the Referer section you can add my name: Stephane Arbour

So invite friends and family :-)

Thank you!

I figured the play testers would play the game at home and come in the office and discuss their thoughts. If that could be completed via skype it could work.

I'm guessing that the testers need to come in to the office and actually play the game.

Yeah they dont want to risk having someone rip the Beta game and upload it on the net or sell it to a competitor so they can reverse engineer it or something... so thats why ppl come to the office to playtest the games... I been to the playtest departement and it's really awesome how everything is set up... it's like a gamer's heaven with each person having a single room with crazy ass comfo chair and huge TV...

What?!? Are you saying there's no benefit to being a ~30-year old male that's interested in video games?!?

Haha!
