For many people, playing video games is what is done after work or that activity to sneak out to do during work hours to ease all the tension accumulated from paperwork. Now, what if we tell you you don’t have to sneak or wait till after work to play your video game? What if we tell you playing video game is now THE JOB, and you get to do that literally all day! Exciting? Well, that is the sweet opportunity PlayStation presents, the real definition of a dream job! But… yes, we know you saw that coming, you have to be in Liverpool to be in the pool! And that’s not all, so sorry, you have to be able to speak Portuguese to remain in that pool.
