[game_edu] Criminal record?

[Steven Yau]

I asked this a while back on another forum.. What I got back is that not all companies do criminal checks and the larger the company, the more likely they are to perform the check.

Currently it is a felony but if he completes his probation without issues it will be dropped to a misdemeanor due to the mother and the daughter not pressing charges against him. His question is whether this will make him unemployable in the game industry. Frankly, I don't think it would help but I don't see how a misdemeanor would make him totally toxic. Obviously, if he has no chance of ever being employed due to his record he won't enter the program.
