    Was greeted by a cheetos sweaty smelling guy in a dark building, saw posters for COD WW2 and infinite, and everybody was playing or watching pcs with cod on it. Was not expecting that, thought all that crap was done california.

    Doubt this. You need a degree to be a game tester, or at least experience coding videogames. Part of their job is working out why bugs happen so they can fix it, not just 'yeah this game good'.

    Apparently video game work is famous for low pay and long hours, as everyone wants to work in the field.

    But I think working on something like GTA5 would be an amazing experience, and you might even get to see the grandkiddies playing something you built.

    I remember that kid Toiletduk aka Misenthropic whatever' telling everyone on &Totse that Jeff helped him get a game tester job at Maxis Sim city makers oUT near Walnut Creek .

    Jeff also told me to goto a temp service place as well.. it's interesting because he "suggested a site" then blacklists me later for employment.

    Curious if it's true his family is part owner operation of Man Power Temps. But that one might not be true or they invested in the company. Which Jeffs bio states he did lots of HR work.

    Anyways point of digression is you don't need a fucking College Degree. Most companies hire people Certified or probably in the then 16-18 year old TD , he would of been grandfathered in and is a skill beta tester by now?

    We have coder boot camps in San Francisco. You can be certified in 3 months. 6 days a week to learn. I understand the pay is between 70k to 110k a year..usually contracted for one year at a time while others are full on employment

    Lmao yeah, text boxes. Probably paid shit too, even worse than actual testers.

    I did a year at a gaming school so you can stfu now. You need a degree to actually test for bugs. That's part of the job. Proofreading aint shit. You can do that on Upwork

    I didn't think even kids buy CoD anymore. I think their whole target audience went to Fortnite and Roblox and Minecraft by now.

    They do. It was an arts college and they taught game art and design. I also learned how to use CAD because I am a skilled motherfucker.

    Well this escalated quite nicely

    You guys realize game testers and such is a pretty big business now? Look at these big AA games that take a massive team of people years to develop.

    Yeah, back in the day video games would have a screen with the credits on them.

    Try sitting through the credits for Skyrim.



    QA starts around 4 minutes in.

    Yeah its a massive industry. Game designers are starting to unionize now too do it'll probably be a lot nicer of a job soon.
