Honestly, I’d argue this opportunity is so much better than college. It’s job experience, and that’s irreplaceable. Especially for people looking into game design as a career, it’s massive to get work experience over college. When I attended RIT for Video Game Design, my first coding class teacher was one of the Microsoft Xbox Exclusive directors. He was at the head of various Microsoft Exclusive titles. He told us that Blizzard, Microsoft, Sony, etc typically do take people from RIT to join their staff, but one of his jobs was to re-teach these newly college graduates to do it their specific way. So you spend 4 years in college, just for a company to tell you to forget everything in college, and then they re-teach you for about 2 weeks.

These days, experience is so valuable. Not going to advocate anyone to do anything dramatic but I remind myself that College will be around forever, where as an opportunity like this may not.
Super exciting seeing you guys do this, best of luck to everyone who applies! As someone who has lived in San Mateo the last year I can advocate it will be the best decision of your life.

I could still apply, but I wouldn’t opt out of college unless I was guaranteed. Sure there may be better opportunities than college, but at least you can have a small backup plan if non-college opportunities prove fruitless.
We do live in a corrupt time where college is over-priced, but you either deal with it or not. I’m all for dropping out of college or not going. But I don’t recommend that unless you’re financially secure. This is how I work at least.

No solid plans at the moment but we’ve been exploring using Unreal for a simple mobile game to test the waters.

I’m not counting on it, I’m just saying if it’s still open then, I’d be applying ASAP.

In the thread that was put up in September, someone asked this and the response was:
So it seems they’re just trying to build their ranks across the board to create a super team, probably to the point where they have full out departments like Building Dept, Programming Dept, and so on.
