Valuable And True Information About Video Game Tester Jobs All gamers
know that when a new video game is presented they can expect to find
some errors in the game. This is pretty common and there is a logical
explanation for that. Game developers are not automatically gamers.
They create the video game and test it the best way they can, but they
don't fill all the gaps. Their thoughts are fixed on creating a
successful product that has to satisfy the customer.
This doesn't make them ideal video game testers.
Gamers have their own way of thinking and so they see the game in
their own, non-economical way, except for the purchasing price of
course. This creates the need for game developers to find and fix
errors where their own personnel can't. Gamers find the most glitches
in a game, that is just a hard proven fact.
Why Are Video Game Testers So Important? When you visit a regular
gaming forum you can find a lot of posts of gamers reporting flaws.
Other gamers post in the same topic until the place becomes a hot spot
with the hope the game developers will do something about it.
Sometimes it gets really ugly in those forums and because of that the
game developers lose reputation and with that some profits too.
Paint yourself a picture here. When gamers find an error in a game,
they get irritated. Not only do they get irritated, they talk about it
to other gamers, friends and acquaintances. If these people were
considering to buy the game, guess what?
Most of them don't want to buy the game until the problem is fixed.
Game developers know about these things and of course they would like
to increase the satisfaction level of their customers and the profits
of their company so they actually hire gamers to test games before the
games get published. We call these games 'beta games'.
How Do They Work? When video game testers test games and find errors,
they report it to the game developers, the developers process and fix
the problem, create a patch, and upgrade the game.
Just like that.
These new job opportunities are received with open arms. Of course the
idea to get paid to test games is very welcome to a lot of people, but
the results of the concept are even better.
With the help of video game testers a video game starts its path with
much more success. The forums are calmer and the overall customer is
more satisfied with off course the everlasting exception of a few
people, but that is nothing new.
Where Do I Apply? So, where can you go to become such a video game
tester? There are some sources to check out, but beware, there are
many people out there that will try to fool you and rob you of some
money and your trust in other sources that might just be what you were
looking for. I have created a website and did some research for you,
so that you only deal with the sources that have been checked. At the
same time you can learn about the advantages and the disadvantages of
