I play from work all the time.. mostly because I work 12-15 hour days during the busy time of year (right now). A lot of people do, which is why lazy camps with 16-22min respawn times are so popular.

I wouldn't do it if you work for a faceless corporation or if your IT department has some kind of monthly quota or are sticklers, but if you can browse reddit/cnn/spotify at work, I doubt you'd have a problem with p99.

you need to get your life together and rethink your priorities if you're going to risk your job for pixels.

It was just a question, it's been a slow couple of weeks for me

Because getting paper currency is soooooo much better. Perhaps you put too much stock in your job? I'm sure he'll rethink his whole life because of your asinine comment.

maybe you guys don't have a real job or still have mommy pay for your things, but if he's questioning whether IT is going to detect him playing games during work then that should be a red flag that maybe it's not a good idea. it's just risky in general and to be honest it's going to open up Pandora's box. forumquesting at work is one thing, but once you start actually playing, it's going to be a bad addiction and risking your career over it is just not a mature thing to do, but do what you like man. it's your life.

Maybe, but everyone wastes time at work. Playing online games, browsing forums, shopping, facebook, standing around talking, etc. If you are able to do that and get your job done and you're not breaking company policy I don't see what the problem is. Just because you play outside your home doesn't mean you will become addicted and destroy your life. It does happen, but it's not inevitable or even likely.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend playing at work for most people. Some jobs have a lot of leeway as far as browsing social media, goofing off at addictinggames.com or agar.io, or frequency of break times...but If you have to try and hide it then you shouldn't be doing it, as hackneyed as that sounds.

This is funny I was just thinking how many people I run into during my day in game that are also playing from work!
