Do you have any organizational skills and can you herd cats? Because I have yet to find ONE job description that fully matches what is being looked for. Just apply and wing it. I would apply if I wasn't already successful in my current career.

You'd be hard pressed to do a worse job than what they've currently been doing.

It's funny, because the product director is responsible mostly for marketting and selling the game, but has no influence on the game design besides that. The "plan" is part of the creative director's job and that is Bryan Ekman.

Why would IGP need a director for farm-produced crops???

But hey if they need one I guess I could do it. I mean how hard could it be, they probably don't have many crops.

It's certainly an interesting find, but you have to keep in mind that IGP is actually fielding about three online games at this time that's known to the public, so it might not be for MWO, honestly.

MWO
MWT
Something Sin or Solar

I wouldn't mind if the devs on MWO would someday review their pricing scheme and maybe mix a few things up. The cheapest you can get a month of Premium is by paying them $15 for the 3,000 MC option, which suddenly puts an "Open Beta" arena shooter in the same price range as WoW and other games with years worth of polished content to validate that price point. Other free to play games that MWO compete with offer a month of double exp and money and such in their comparable plans for about $7-$10 a month, which is obviously more enticing to the common folk than $15.

I don't mind the mech prices being as silly as they are, since it keeps Hero Mechs rare, and the rest can be grinded out fairly while having fun with friends or solo dropping. It's just that dang Premium pricing that gets me every time, since I'm a long time MMO player. Maybe they'll toss us some extra bones when CW and Clans hits on what Premium grants to flesh out that price point, but for now, I think they could just offer it at a more competitive price point.

That doesn't mean the product director is actually developing the features, but it does mean its their job to hound the developers to generate revenue. I feel this could be a good thing. If is IGP is looking for someone who can crank up the revenue, they might hve finally realized their price points are holding them back.

If i had the job, the first thing i would do is put it on steam, planetside 2 is on there, why not MWO?

We already discussed that hundred times over. Valve asks for a huge chunk of profits.

[Noobzorz]

One of the nice things about the insane lack of such people is that once they finally do have such a person, it is very likely that they will unfuck themselves. Zero dollars to hero mechs and cosmetics until that happens.
