We encourage employees and teams to explore their nerdiness and connect with one another within and (if they wish) outside the company - be it in our strong board game and TTRPG community, over painting miniatures, in book circles, over karaoke, at our social gatherings and of course over video games. How far down the rabbit hole you go is up to you, nothing is mandatory.
It goes without saying that you get full access to our Steam catalog and the chance the play games that are still in development.
