"WHAT IF I COULD SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE UP TO $120 DOLLARS PER HOUR
PLAYING VIDEO GAMES FROM YOUR HOME... WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED?"
As a Video Game Tester You Will:
Get to Play Video Games
Get Paid to Play Video Games
Get Paid to Play Unreleased Games before anyone else
Get Free copies of Video Games
Get access to cheat codes, level secrets, and other "bugs" that
only game testers know about.
Get real-world experience working with company departments and
learn about the development, marketing, manufacturing, customer
service, and testing phases of each game.
My Story
So I was playing this new shooter last week and I found a bug, when
I switch from one gun to another while swimming, the first gun gets
dropped. I emailed the developers, who emailed the project leaders --
who emailed me back saying "oops" and "thanks."
The week before that I got 2 free copies of games that hit stores
next month. I've already passed one of those games though, so I sold
the full version to my brother. I used to go out and buy games and pay
monthly subscriptions to play those games online... and now I go to
school, I come home and I have games waiting for me in the mail months
before they get released.
I "work" with unreleased games about 4 hours a day, sometimes less,
and my checks blow away what I used to get making coffee for others.
The Imitators
It wasn't always like this though. I'd go to school, go to work at a
coffee shop, come home late, play games, wake up tired, and repeat
everything the next day. On top of that, I also had to save up to buy
games, pay monthly subscriptions to play those games, and spend hours
looking for cheat codes and guides.
One day I found a website that promised me that I would play games
online and get paid for it. The site charged $59.99 for the
information. So I paid. After I paid I found that the site was such
garbage, it was ridiculous... But the seed had been planted.
The Search I've done the trail blazing for you, so that you can save
your time.
So here's a recap and some frequently asked questions:
1. WHY WOULD COMPANIES PAY ME TO BETA TEST GAMES?
The GAME INDUSTRY IS NOW OVER A $50 BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS. In the
case of nationwide companies, producing games that have bugs in them
-- games that the customers will return, means losing millions of
dollars, and likely jobs.
IF YOU BUY A NEW MMORPG THAT CRASHES EVERY TIME YOUR CHARACTER JUMPS
WHILE RUNNING, CHANCES ARE YOU WILL NOT LIKE THE GAME AND TELL ALL OF
YOUR FRIENDS NOT TO BUY IT. This is a serious setback for the game
company. The customers that bought their product will not buy it again
and neither will their friends. This company now will have invested
millions of dollars in game development, manufacturing, shipping, and
marketing costs but no one will buy their game because of one glitch.
WHAT IF A GAME COMPANY CREATES A NEW WAY TO PLAY ONLINE, BUT IT\'S
JUST TOO COMPLICATED? This is a serious setback, the company
executives might of thought that the this new system was "cool" but in
fact, from the gamer's perspective, there's nothing "cool" about
trying to figure out how to login to play the game online. Again, no
one will buy this game and the manufacturing company will lose
millions!
2. WHAT, PROGRAMMERS CAN\'T CATCH ALL THE GLITCHES?
The answer is NO -- programmers are not necessarily gamers, they
won't find all the bugs that a gamer will. If a company pays you
$40/hr to play games and find glitches for them that would otherwise
ruin the game experience for the user, and possibly hurt their sales,
from their perspective it's really a good deal.
3. WHAT KIND OF GAMES WILL I BETA TEST?
It will depend on the company, but all these games have been tested
before relase:
Crysis
[1]
Bioshock
[2]
Call of Duty 4
[3]
The Witcher
[4]
Age of Conan
[5]
4. Can I still go to school, or work my 9-5 job, what about
Education requirements?
Most testing jobs don't require formal education.
You get paid up to $120 per hour. This will depend on your effort,
knowledge, and experience.
Some jobs are 9-5, while others are test whenever you want; you
will apply for the jobs that you like.
The only hard requirement is that you need to be 18 years of age
or older.
5. CAN I TEST GAMES ON THE XBOX 360, PS2, PS3, PSP, NINTENDO DS,
GAMEBOY, ETC?
This will depend on the job that you land. If you only want to test
games on the XBOX ONLY then your employment opportunities will
obviously be limited. You will apply for jobs that you like and test
on whatever system that you wish to test on.
Still have a question? Please see this page [6] for other common
questions/answers.
