Life of a Game Tester

Unfortunately no NDAs are being broken here. :P

That was interesting information. I also work in the gaming industry and I get the part of most of it being communication between teammates, reports, and spreadsheets. “The magic is gone after a while...” totally get it.

[@Anderous]

I don't remember how bad I made it "sound", but this is just the reality of everything to me XD. It's the trade off we take :).

[@OverBanned]

Anderous I mean, it sounded bad if you are someone with no background knowledge of what it means to do this kind of job. But to me it sounded like common things I would experience doing my job.

[@MDLprodaction]

it depends on the person. my magic never gone .

[@Nyx_Room]

To be fair....burn out is normal all around...

[@stefanoimbimbo9029]

[@spiderguy01]

[@drake_sebastian]

I do love playing games , and I am a hardcore gamer , like my daily life is surrounded around it like alot . But do you really think I might be able to stay being a game tester?

[@froggydef]

Haha, excellent vid ! You convince me more to do QA ! Iam french and at 45y/o i'am trying to enter the industry as remote QA.

[@Kdhalo1999]

Where could I start?

[@Thekappa]

[@marcusbengtsson501]

Hello! Non game tester here. Are you still working as a game tester as of today or you changed to other industries? :)

[@Anderous]

Still in the industry!

[@marcusbengtsson501]

@@Anderous thats awesome my dude! I have been working as QA for 4 years now but nothing with games sadly. Would have been cool to try out at least haha. :)

[@thekappap]

i have a learning disabilty ADHD and i love playing video games but with no experience i do not think i will ever get the chance do it because i am 43 years old . very limited skills

[@jaegee3716]

I'm going thru QA stuff and I want to b manual to start make sure I like it and can catch on I feel gaming is a great entry point but the testers don't make much I don't wanna drop that much in pay but sacrifice is needed sometimes

[@thekappap]

been searching for a video game jobs for years now and so far nothing has happen for me only rejections nothing more than that . i think its time i called it quits for trying to get a job with no experience what is the point of trying .

[@hellwroughtangel]

So a lot of communicating with other people to do your job.

[@Anderous]

Yep. There are a lot of other factors like team size and scope but... the easiest way to get anything done is to talk :).

[@MrKooderna]

Is the job fun or nah

[@QWERTY-gp8fd]

u get paid to play video games. whether thats fun or not depends on u. definitely one of the easier jobs though

[@kattterina]

did my first playtest and it wasn’t even “QA” but i was trying to be so careful because my game kept crashing. i never play like that ! lol the whole computer ended up crashing on day 2. 🥹 but it was just as you said, so fun to be around everyone working on this big project, being a part of it. talking to others about games, computer stuff.. it was inspiring. i was thinking the whole time like wow this is awesome I’m really getting paid to play games right now 🤩
