[2020] havent even played the game for 6 hours and got to play with a dev. sick.

Skill levels internally as varied as anywhere else. I remember playing once and someone was like, "Oh sick, a Dev. You gonna carry us?" And my response was, "I'm much better at making games than playing them..." I will say that sporting the DEV badge is a huge source of pride for me, and it's truly an honor that some people are genuinely excited to play with us. I'm not great at the game - I've been an RPG gamer for most of my gaming life or maybe a 3PS (Gears, Ghost Recon) player, but I love to play and try to at least be a good teammate. I've also learned a ton playing solo queue, and I'm always appreciative of people who give me controller setup tips (I play on XBox), tactical tips, or just show their love for the game.

I'm 40, married with four kids, and am most definitely a tryhard. So definitely appreciate the comments that "they're just people." I'm in awe of the top players and how good they are at this game. And I am grateful to be working on a game that has such an incredibly passionate community. It's a thrill for me to play with folks who love the game I get to help make.

Oh, and to answer an earlier question, any Respawn employee can get the badge; that includes Star Wars and MOH folks.

Hey, that’s me
