Video Game Testers? Yeah Right
I frequently hear from people who are convinced that they will become video game testers as a full time job. This is a very difficult career choice. Here is some surprizing information:
1. Most games are not complete and frustration may occur frequently
2. There are usually no audio tracks during the testing faze
3. Long hours of playing the same game or even the same level over and over even after completed is standard
4. Keeping an extensive journal of bugs and experiences is required
5. Some game testers claim they have to play the same level 40 times
6. A grueling schedule and deadlines includes 12 hour work days
7. It doesn’t play that much
8. It isn’t that fun
