Hey kid, looks like your main challenge was personality clash and that's understandable as you're young and don't have the life experience. Free advice; 1. stop reminiscing as that won't help, it'll just hold you back 2. learn how to appreciate others efforts and give 'constructive feedback' (e.g. this part is great, but this part is letting it down do you think we could do this or that instead?) 3. This is an extension of #2 put yourself in the other persons shoes, try partnership over dictatorship. + never talk ill about your fellow human, that just makes you a cannibal. People have challenges, understanding and supporting is the right thing to do, judging and shaming is the wrong thing to do. ...in few years you will look back on this vid and realise it yourself. Good luck kid, your fellow human from the other side of our planet 😉

This experience sounds so different from my own 4+ years in QA Testing in Australia which, for the most part, has been good. Honestly the work environment sounds really bad (2 days training? tf?) and the work + workers underappreciated at this studio while they distract from that with free drinks and food. QA testers do suffer from burnout (like most devs) so its important to rotate tasks or projects to mitigate that repetitiveness.

I mean what do you expect when being a game tester, is right there in the name if you think about it deeply

Sounds exactly like call center. We had to fill out a language test riddled with mistakes and, since I am a native speaker and extremely pedantic, I corrected the test itself. I also answered e-mails in polite native language and any other foreign language I could speak to the best of my abilities, instead of using generic text blocks as instructed. Had a talking-to by project lead who told me to stop doing things right and fulfill textblock quota if I want to keep the job, so I quit. I think there is an overarching lack of leadership. If you don't have a guy / gal with a vision keeping everything together, the departments will split off and do their own thing and try to keep a low profile to keep payments rolling, instead of working on a goal. Same thing in the army. Keep your head low and make sure command doesn't notice your department, sit back, drink coffee, do the minimum, shut up, get paid. Really, this "bug reports don't matter" mentality bears striking resemblance to the stuff I've seen throughout my work life.

Thank you for sharing. This put more perspective into the QA tester's workplace and any other workplace where you are just an expendable part of the company.

Great video, shows how game companies really feel about the gamers. Dev's don't really care about players, just the cash they bring to the table. Paying for DLC and pre-orders is proof, not to mention the high levels of crappy re-hashes and remakes we see. Maybe one day testers will have a better work experience.

Hugely dependednt on the company. Some absolutely love their fans and some don't give a shit

this is why when my non gamer friends asked me to be a play tester because they know how much time I spend on video games, I refused because I don't want to hate the very thing i love as a hobby. they say do the thing you love and you'll never work another day in your life. I believe the opposite. If the very thing that you love is mandatory to keep you alive, you will eventually hate and vomit at the thought of it. I actually prefer the opposite. work with the job you're indifferent or dislike and you'll appreciate the non work related things in life like your hobbies whatever it may be, family time, dates, sleep and vacations. same reason why I don't want to be working from home. I don't like the idea of stress and my sanctuary being combined into one.

Depends on the department, functional testing can get repetitive quick but compliance testing is pretty engaging and enjoyable if you like that kind of work, you don't have to report invisible walls, falling through the ground, i.e. doing the check on the same level over and over. In compliance you get to test things like how the game behaves with different peripherals be it controllers, steering wheels, VR sets, if the game is supported by the required OS, if the game supports different aspect ratios, if the copyright info is in order, drm checks and so on, you rarely get to actually play the game from start to finish. source: working in compliance for 4 years.

A lot of these issues honestly sound like generic office work problems that you could have anywhere.

Wow. Everything you said about the people sounds exactly like the trade school I went to. Basically no one learned what being professional means. Even though everyone had so much in common, everyone found ways to outcast each other and keep that high school vibe. And the sad part is, this isn't the first time hearing this kind of stuff.

I’m going into voice acting because I’ve done theatre for most of my life. I feel like the sooner the world takes these jobs seriously the sooner the care for QA’s will go up.

You want to hire detail-oriented workers who can efficiently spot and record bugs. It should not be surprising at all that some of them will not like FPS or play many games. Pretty sure their work performance matters more.

Watching more than half of your video I realize that this is not game tester only but also QA in general, and every other part are pretty similar in other software development environments. Based on your topics in the videos, here are some more infos for everyone to have a look at: 1. Opened working environment: this is pretty much the same in almost every software company nowadays, in my country Vietnam it is the same, my company even have free lunch&dinner, and fruit filling up twice a week. Working hours can be flexible as well, you can go in a bit late and leave early, as long as your work for the day is done. 2. The nature of QA job: repetitive and boring, this applies to all QA jobs out there. Casually you don't get to play what you want, and it's true in the video that you'll be realizing that you're not playing game at all, just basically get your job done. 3. The relationship between QA and Dev: It's true that there are dev who gets annoyed if you report bugs, but it's also our job to make things right. I always tried to talk sense before getting the thing escalated if the dev doesn't cooperate. In your case, if the character is to OP that's pretty much related to how the game was designed, and it's not really something the dev would be able to give an answer, I think this should go to the game designer to decide. 4. company's benefit vs. employee's: I was in a similar company to your, our CEO failed to show his care for his employees. And the company's benefit would always be superior to employees'... it's hurt but true and many companies run the same way. You'll get the boot as long as they don't need you anymore. But there are also companies that try to balance both, so that's a good sign. 5. QA's salary and etc...: I agree that QAs nowadays are doing a lot of works and still being underrated. From what I learned game tester's salary is also worse than other Mobile/Web QA. People need to learn that QA is the closest person to our end-user, which means QA's understandings of users would help our application to do the right thing. No offense but most of the dev I worked with just do what it says in the requirements... yeah some would say that but they're the one who makes the app, but let's accept the fact that user isn't going to use/play an app/game that doesn't care about their experience or feeling, then it would be just another failure. Well, thanks for the video! that's all I've got to say~

- "I work in IT" - "Cool. What do you do?" - "I do meetings."

The way I see QA in terms of feedback: despite the word "Quality" in the job, we don't get to have a say in quality. Just functionality.

Very informative! Thank you for a little info on behind the scenes. But to be honest it kinda sounds like every other job out there. Most big companies do not care about the boots on the ground. Everyone is replaceable, that's the mindset. No one cares if you get replaced by someone that's not worth a d...! Have a great day

I'm actually looking to apply to a QA position or a junior designer position, do you have any tips or suggestions to writing a good cover letter? Or what skills to improve on, for context this is my last semester in school amd graduating with a degree in game design. I appreciate the response!

Thank you it was helpful so if one day I hired people to test my games I know how hard it is and make sure they are in good mental environment. Unfortunately as Im releasing my first game I cant pay those who get paid to test my game so for know I have to ask KZreadrs who just test games for fun.

Your experience with QA and development having an adversarial relationship sounds like it represents an unhealthy workplace. I did QA as part of a different role for a couple years and was always on good terms with the few developers I interacted with. I imagine the devs where you worked must have been under a lot of pressure and/or stress if they reacted negatively to you doing your job. (then again the devs I worked with were Russian & Ukranian and their attitude is like, OK, I get the work done, I don't complain)

As a dev i can imagine on both sides when you have tight deadlines on creation team (usually on montreal or US studios) that they even don't have time to testing the release build and to reproduce bugs can be a daunting task since some of them are not 100% reproduceable , not to mention different build they have (there some times that QA get older build and devs have build that alrd fixed like 10 minutes back by other programmers that maybe not in the studio , like in co-dev studio).

You mean as a game tester yourself?

Thank you for sharing your experience. However I have one thing I would like to respectfully point out: the title of the video signals that the topic should explain day to day responsibilities of a QA tester, and general things related to such a job position. You certainly did cover that briefly, but it felt like a lot of the video was spent describing your experience relating to the toxic work environment there. I am sorry you had to go through such an experience, but I am pointing out that this may be specific to a company and its environment. Thank you for the information provided though.

this is very interesting.

whats a good company to start with

did you go to a college for it or just applied?

Is it possible to work your way up from game tester to like a lead director, or like a producer?

Depends on your company. I work QA and have had many conversations with people that started in QA and moved on to be associate producers or doing game dev. For sure possible, but I work for a AAA company so I guess results may vary. I am sorry for being so late on this, but the only other comment suggested that it is not possible. Many of my colleagues have moved on to game dev while starting in QA.

Trust me. I play for nearly 18 hours a day and I still do so I won't have much of a problem. Plus it'll give me a chance to even touch a pc

I have been trying for years to get hired by any video game company in los angeles or new Orleans but no because i lack true experience in video game testing . been rejected 14 times so i'm not sure about this .

Dang, that's a bit deflating. Sounds more stressful than it should be because of the whack people and leadership, at least in your case. But it seems the norm because of expendability. Which, like you said, being grossly underappreciated by the company and staff. And the lack of communication between developers and testers is baffling, stupidly so. I don't like the sound of that but I know alot of jobs are the same. Some people like the power they have over others and treat their fellow human beings like sh*t. As if somehow their title makes them better than us. I quit my last job because of stress caused by customers and leadership. Just couldn't put up wit the bullsh*t anymore. Thanks for the honesty tho. Good vid and appreciate you for giving your take.

Thanks for giving some insight into this position, as its something Ive had growing interest in since Covid hit and the need to find opportunities that fit within this new work dynamic where traditional workplaces are changing. Some of the cons you mentioned remind me of stories ive heard from former Blizzard or EA employees. I feel so bad for people who put in so much effort, only to be dissed. Thats not right.

How old to start working as a game tester?

I don't have experience in any video game testing experience in video game industry but I love playing video games. No video game companies will not hire me because I lack of experience in anything.

Can we look forward to a career as a game tester? What is the highest salary that a game tester gets?

at the company I worked for the highest I saw was $16 for a tester. But you can always move up to analyst

I just applied to a AAA gaming company as a Game Test Analyst which I hope I get the position. I heard people that work there as a Game Tester have fun at their employment!!

Did you get accepted

I wish I could be a QA game tester but sadly I live in Florida and all those companies are far away from here but I feel like I would be a good video game tester because I would provide criticism but also help in development like my criticism won't be just like straight up hating on the game it would also give solutions so if I find something that doesn't make sense I'll provide a solution to how to make it make sense and if a gun is too powerful then I'll provide a solution of how they can balance it

Are you on social media just wondering.?

This sounds really common actually everyone I know in this feild says its not nearly as good as you would think. I think every gamer has considered wanting to be a tester just know what ur getting into.

7:33 that's literally any job tho 😂 that happened to me and I worked at rite aid, that happened to my sister and she does door dash, tbh I feel like when people say there's pros and cons to anything it's 90% of the time based on opinion and not facts, yes some things are rules but what's a job without rules and restrictions, make it make sense
