"I've worked at Microsoft under contract for a few years now. While they have a bit of a class system, I still enjoyed my time there. I hope to someday have a full time job with them or someone else that is as passionate about games as I am. The passion at Microsoft appears to go from person to person and in the end it does come down to the money."
