While that would be awesome, something like that probably won't happen so close to launch. Developers might throw those sort of parties early in the development stage or a while after launch. It's a busy time for them, and their office is probably a mess right now as they frantically prep everything.



I don't know, I actually like the breaks from work from time to time when we get tours of our customers here. I work in a department where I'm doing constant dev work on 500+ Unix/Linux Servers, and while I enjoy my job, and have a million things to do at any given time, I really appreciate it when I have a customer come into my office or my test bay and thank me for helping them, or doing an install.

I can't speak for PGI, but if someone was really busy and unwilling to take an interruption, they would make it clear to not be disturbed. I've worked in cube-space before, and it was always a jovial, lighthearted environment where we were all pretty much down to earth. So interruptions like that weren't of any real concern.

Anyway. I'll drop it for now.

Bump, just because I like this subject and it hasn't seen any interest lately.

Yep, I would. A very long drive from here though, but what a road trip it would be. :D

Once the game goes live, do you think they will allow tours?

Heh, me too man, I work really close by them. They should send the next wave of invites based on proximity.

Is this a serious option ? I live just 15 minutes away. Would love to drop by and take a look at things, I'm a software developer myself.
