| Marks said: Geez if testers only get paid around $40-$50 thousand then why the fuck don't devs hire more of them? So many games come out broken as fuck. I appreciate that most games from big publishers get patched pretty quickly but it would still be nice to have a game not needing patched Day 1. Especially CoD games. They really should hire ACTUAL GAMERS to test the online multiplayer and give feedback. Honestly they wouldn't even have to pay 99% of gamers to test CoD games early, people would be happy to do it. |
That usuallly ends up being a HORRIBLE idea. Early Betas usually end up with people wigging out about how shitty and broken the game is, even when told ahead of time it's going to be shitty and broken and your beta testing it.
As for why they don't hire more gamestesters. I'd guess it'd be hard to find gametesters.
Being a gametester isn't "Here play this game until something breaks." Gametesting like that would cause HUGE amounts of bugs to happen.
It's more "Spend 8 hours jumping up against this wall at different heights to make sure you don't go through it...
