因为无聊的缘故，跑去看暴雪主页上的招聘要求，看看一流的公司对制作者有什么样的要求，我还有多远的距离。
结果发现暴雪正在招聘三个设计师职位：
1、多人游戏系统设计师，全部要求如下：
Multiplayer Systems Designer
Blizzard Entertainment is looking for a talented and enthusiastic game designer to join our award winning studio. Duties of the Multiplayer Systems Designer will include working with development teams and the Battle.net team on multiplayer systems design, tournament and ladder design and interface and online game design. The ideal candidate will have proven experience in multiplayer game design, a passion for competitive gaming and an enthusiasm for online communities.

If you do not include the answers to the questions above in your cover letter, your application will not be considered!
结合另外两个招聘条件，看起来似乎是星际2的系统设计师，不过考虑到魔兽世界为暴雪带来的利润和最后问到玩过那些网络游戏这种问题，更像是为一款新的竞技网络游戏招聘设计师，这款游戏会很注重玩家之间的对抗性？有点期待。不知道会怎样和魔兽或者星际争霸的世界联系起来，甚至是重新开始？我为什么没有考虑过星际世界这种东西呢？不过没看到有其他职位信息对新的网络游戏这个可能性提供支持，依靠一个系统设计师可搞不定全套……
2、游戏平衡设计师，全部要求如下：

看起来星际争霸2已经是铁定的事情了，不知道在我有生之年能不能赶上暴雪发布……另外，这三个职位的书面要求我都或多或少不满足，更不要说在满足要求的竞争者里择优了，差距！残念！
