Game Testing: Not All Fun and Games
from the nostalgia dept
I was never a really big video game player growing up, but I still remember clearly a friend in high school telling me about his friend (who I never got to meet) who had a job testing video games for Acclaim. So, it's with a bit of nostalgia that I read about folks who test games. I really tried to find out how to get in on this gig, but it never went anywhere. So, do I believe these folks when they say testing video games isn't that much fun? Sure. I still would have killed for that job, though...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
