DON’T WORK AS A GAMES TESTER
This advert makes being a “games tester” sound really cool…
…but the reality of being a games tester is this:
The games testers sit in a Portakabin several hundred yards away from the main office. The Portakabin is naturally quite cramped. It will smell quite bad. You will be playing games that crash every five minutes and then take five minutes to load again. You will play each level several thousand times. You’ll be playing a level that isn’t even finished yet, so any bugs you report will change into new ones when the next build arrives, heightening the sense of futility you will be feeling. You don’t get invited to the launch parties. You’ll be lucky to even get a boxed copy of the game. The lovely PR ladies (myth #1) won’t ever have sex with you (myth #2). This is probably for EA, so you’ll be doing FIFA Street 2 :(
