I have been a die-hard gamer since I can remember. You can imagine my excitement when a buddy of mine told me there was such a thing as a game tester job where you could actually make money from playing video games. What I did not know was that there was a web of greedy scam artists waiting to take the money off newbie game testers desperate for jobs. I wrote this article because I wanted to make sure everyone is aware of this game testing hoax.

My Story

About 2 years ago I was just your average die hard gamer. I would seriously spend anywhere up to 40 hours a week playing games. It was getting tough to hold down my part time job. So one day a buddy of mine tells me he knows this guy who is making like $80 per hour working in a game tester job, beta testing unreleased video games – it sounded more than ideal.

So I decided to go online and did some Google searches for game testing and game tester job. There were heaps of guides promising upwards of $100 per hour jobs and instant offers. I could not believe it and handed over the cash, and waited for the offers to come rolling in. Guess what? And they never did. Actually - only the 1 lame offer for an online PC game paying a measly $10 per hour. I was out of cash, and as you can imagine pretty angry.

So I emailed the guys a few times asking for refunds. I never heard back from them. They did not have a money back guarantee. It was an absolute rip-off! I was so angry and didn’t know what to do next…

I was going to give up, but was still desperate to find this elusive game tester job. Next I jumped on a few forums for video game testers. I came across some pretty cool people - they all recommended the same guide which was encouraging - it had landed them all some decent jobs. So I gave it one last shot, and invested in the guide.

As I said earlier that was over 2 years ago. Today I make a full time income from game testing. I owe it totally to the guide which got me started and helped me land my first few jobs. Its an unbeatable lifestyle - and all you need are a couple of jobs to get you started.

Here’s My Secret

So right now you are probably pretty keen to find out the name of the game tester guide which delivered - right.. Don’t worry I am not going to leave you hanging - I know how much that sux.. The guides name is gamer testing ground review and I strongly recommend you check them out.

Gaming is a multi trillion dollar industry in the wide world today. Hundreds of people doing on developing a single game, and millions of people purchase it all over the world. The industry is at such high stakes that the income generated by a single bestselling title could be more than the gross public product of a third world country. In such a circumstance, there are many ways that gaming can be used to your own advantage. Even if you know zilch about developing games, you can gain a very impressive sum by testing them, and even make it your fulltime profession.

Game developer companies want to be perfectly sure that their products are perfect before they release them into the market. Since such high stakes are riding on the heads of each title, this is a very obvious thing to want. That is why there is a need for game testers. These people do not requirement to visit the company certainly; game testing can be taken up as a freelance career from home. Once the game testers are recruited, they will get the games by post, which they have you play and review. The review has to be drafted on a form which comes with the game CD. Generally there is a timeframe of about fifteen days to review the game and to submit its report.

In order to leave no stone unturned with their precious games, game developers are playing very high to those who do the game testing for them. An proficient video game tester could get anywhere between $80 and $90 per hour. Novices would start out at less, but they would soon reach this level of earning. The pay that game testers get is just about the highest that some freelance worker gets. The money paid comes in the post next about two weeks of the submission of the game’s review.

And to top it all, the game testers get to keep the game CDs. These game CDs become profitable at that point of time, because they are the beta versions of games that are yet to be released in the market. The last game CD could be a little dissimilar, thus it would incorporate all the suggested changes and be better off for graphics and voice.

Although, game testing is not just games all the way. You might have to visit the game developing companies occasionally if they are not able to deliver the titles, or you may even have to visit them and describe your opinion of the game. This happens in most cases, specially in great graphic games which are very difficult to describe on a written form. Also, the game tester has to have a scrupulous approach to the game, and check out all flaw and make a report of it.

So, if you think you are up to all these responsibilities, and if you generally love games, then game testing could be the best profession for you to be in. The money’s good, and you work by doing almost nothing more than playing games. You can get some good tips and ideas about how to enter the world of game testing.

The company also went into the video gaming business since 1995 when Sony launched their first gaming console which was under the trademark ‘Playstation’. The company developed many popular video games exclusively for their own console. Since the business generated billion of dollars for the company Sony has taken the gaming business seriously. They want to make sure that their video games contain no errors so they hired game testers to beta test their games. Gamer Testing Ground is a program that helps their members to land a career in game testing category.

 

Gamer Testing Ground does not guarantee that the members who have joined will surely be hired by a game company. But it provides a higher chance and better opportunity to be employed by Sony Corporation. Sony is one of their listing, Gamer Testing Ground has a list of 50 game companies with open vacancies. The list is being updated regularly. There are enough rooms for every member. As a matter of fact, game tester is insufficient. Many people do not realize about such job.

The program guides their members to correctly create their resume in order to have a better chance to be employed than people who have no idea about the job criteria.

Because the position does not require game developing and programming experiences, and education degree. The job is open up for everyone who enjoys playing video game.

 

Sony Corporation does employ many game testers each month due a lot of new titles are expected to be released each month. Not every game is created by Sony but they have to ensure about their game quality to increase their profit margin. Companies **** refund regardless of what kind of goods they sell. Game tester is the backbone of game business without them the companies will lose million of dollars due to lack of quality standard.
