Take the 2-minute tour ×  Like I plan to build up my portfolio
with games. If I don't get a job in gaming or if frankly I don't
want to, how would an employer who wants nothing to do with
games see me as a potential future employee?  Would he see it as
impressive and consider me? Or would he think it's nice but
irrelevant and thus be somewhat detrimental?  share|improve this
question Very good question! To me personally it would say that
you can code, but you like games so much that you put them in
your portfolio, and therefore might not be reliable, and you the
employee would rather make games but are settling for me, the
non-gaming employer, and you the person have interests that are
very different from me the person, and I would rather work
together on a project or even have a lunch conversation with
someone else. This is my straight answer and I am probably a
minority. Most people would not care what your hobby is as long
as you can code. Some could be your soul-mates. –  Job Oct 3 '11
