You can't ship standalone games yet, they're currently in talks with Valve, lawyers talking to lawyers to try and make this happen. Right now, they have a Play Fund, and pay creators for minutes played, similar to Fortnite. This is definitely closer to Roblox for now, but yeah standalone coming soon hopefully..

Hi, love the problem that Freed is solving (I think my family doctor may even be using this as they asked for my permission about AI usage?)

I noticed most of the positions seem to be high in years of experience required, are y'all strict on this?

Not just strict, but their interview process is high-leetcode/old-Google-style.

I wouldn't bother unless you're an ex-FAANG engineer with a hefty resume and regularly practice hard-level algorithmic problems.

Yeah, because we are a remote-first company, we only hire mid-level & senior engineers. I think it does a disservice to early career engineers to work remote. There is a lot you can learn by working in a much higher bandwidth communication setting.

speaking of remote-first, you accept applications only from US and Canada, not Europe, right?
