Play Fair, Get Fare: The Business of Video Game-testing
When asked about their concept of heaven on earth, many video
game maniacs would answer it is the limitless opportunity of
spending their whole time playing new and interesting games.
What if...angels existed under the disguise of video games
developers? And the wildest dreams of the gamers became true?
Spending hours playing video games can even be well-paid by some
advanced video games companies, if you become an official
game-tester of the new products.
To become a game tester is even easier that you may consider
it. The only thing that is taken into consideration is your true
devotion to games. What you need is one video game system to get
started. You don't need to be a professional to be hired as a
game tester. ANYONE can test video games, with the single
pre-condition that they are older than 15. If you are a video
addict who cannot live a day without playing, that job would be
the perfect opportunity for your future career. The payment for
testing varies between $9- $80 an hour. What is more, you may
keep the games that you tested as a present from the company.
As if that weren't enough, if you work as a game tester, you
get the loosest possible working schedule. No-one can oblige you
to fill up a certain number of hours testing. The weekly payment
depends on the hours you spent playing games and on the
completion of a given assignment. But the games are so
interesting and innovative that you probably won't feel your
time being consumed by the cruel economic system. As a
game-tester myself, I have been earning my salary in that way
for 4 years. I must admit that the pleasure is enormous. I have
about 300 XBOX game library from the games that I have tested.
Finally, I suppose that the logical question has already
propped up in your minds: Why ME become a tester? Why not anyone
else? BECAUSE THE COMPANY NEEDS YOU. Video games developers need
an ordinary customer to play their new games and assess them.
The emphasis they put on the testing is that everyone's opinion
matters, and yours can help them elaborate the games and make
them more competitive with the other companies' products.
