The <b>Palworld<\/b> creator wants colleagues who genuinely understand gaming deep mechanics, not just industry credentials.<\/p>\n<p><b>Mizobe stated bluntly<\/b>: &#8220;We basically turn down those who have played zero Steam games.&#8221; The studio recognizes that designers absent from gaming communities lack the instinctive understanding needed to create compelling mechanics. <b>Steam<\/b> serves as the litmus test because it&#8217;s home to <b>indie titles<\/b> that shaped modern gaming design.<\/p>\n<h2>How Pocketpair Screens Candidates Using Steam History<\/h2>\n<p>During document screening, <b>zero Steam games<\/b> triggers automatic rejection, leaving aspiring designers stunned. But passing initial screening unleashes deeper scrutiny during interviews. Candidates face grilling questions about their most-played titles, explaining design choices and analyzing competitive advantages.<\/p>\n<p><b>Mizobe revealed the interview process<\/b>: &#8220;In the interview, we question candidates about the top most-played titles in their Steam libraries. We ask them to explain game mechanics, why they think those specific mechanics were adopted, and what makes that game stand out against others in the same genre.&#8221; <b>John Buckley<\/b>, Pocketpair&#8217;s Head of Publishing, confirmed the intensity: &#8220;When I joined, I was grilled if I knew games like Slay the Spire.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>The Gaming Industry Response to Pocketpair&#8217;s Hiring Rules<\/h2>\n<table style='width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0'>\n<tr style='background:#f4f4f4'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Aspect<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Details<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Company Philosophy<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Built by gamers, for gamers with authentic play history required<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Rejection Criteria<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>No Steam games played, fails document screening immediately<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Console Alternative<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch data accepted secondarily<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Primary Focus<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Steam indie games only available on the platform<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>The requirement sparked immediate conversation across <b>gaming communities<\/b>. Some applaud <b>Pocketpair&#8217;s authenticity<\/b> in demanding genuine passion, while others criticize the subjective screening. <b>Buckley<\/b> defended the approach: &#8220;Pocketpair is a company that truly is built by gamers, and our CEO is very adamant to keep it that way.&#8221; The philosophy directly reflects the studio&#8217;s explosive success with <b>Palworld<\/b>, which reached <b>25 million players<\/b> in its first month.<\/p>\n<blockquote style='border-left:4px solid #3498db;padding-left:20px;margin:25px 0;font-style:italic;color:#555'><p>\n&#8220;We want our colleagues to be playing indie games that are only available on Steam.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style='font-size:0.9em;color:#666;margin-top:-15px'>\u2014 <b>Takuro Mizobe<\/b>, CEO of Pocketpair<\/p>\n<h2>What This Requirement Means for Game Developer Hiring<\/h2>\n<p><b>Pocketpair&#8217;s strategy reveals shifting hiring norms<\/b> in tech. While controversial, the <b>Steam requirement<\/b> represents a broader trend of companies demanding cultural fit and genuine passion. <b>Game design<\/b> increasingly requires not just technical skills but deep gaming knowledge. Designers must understand why certain mechanics resonate, how indie games innovate under budget constraints, and why player psychology matters.<\/p>\n<p>The requirement also signals <b>Pocketpair&#8217;s commitment<\/b> to maintaining its indie identity despite explosive growth. <b>Palworld<\/b> generated <b>25 million players<\/b> and <b>8 million sales<\/b> in its first month, yet <b>Mizobe<\/b> refuses to abandon the scrappy gaming passion defining the studio. Hiring only devoted <b>Steam gamers<\/b> ensures new designers share that hungry, player-first mentality.<\/p>\n<h2>Will Other Game Studios Adopt Pocketpair&#8217;s Hiring Model?<\/h2>\n<p><b>Pocketpair&#8217;s unusual requirement<\/b> raises a critical question: could this become industry standard? Game development already requires passion, but demanding visible <b>Steam libraries<\/b> remains rare and bold. Some studios may embrace similar cultural screening, while others resist as potential discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s clear is that <b>Pocketpair won&#8217;t compromise<\/b> on hiring culture, even after becoming a global phenomenon. <b>Mizobe&#8217;s firm stance<\/b> makes message unmistakable: join Pocketpair only if you&#8217;re already devoted to gaming, understand indie game design philosophy, and can articulate why games succeed. For aspiring <b>game designers<\/b> targeting <b>Pocketpair<\/b>, there&#8217;s no shortcut past genuine <b>Steam playtime history<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>IGN<\/b> &#8211;
