Is It A Good Time To Try And Break Into The World Of Game Testing

By Judy Finlayson


You may be wondering whether or not it is a good time to look for a job as a game tester if this is something you have always wanted to do. You may have heard some negative people saying that gaming is on the way out or that there are enough game testers out there already but this really is not the way it is. The truth is that at the moment there are more opportunities than there ever were for game testers who are determined to be successful.

If you want some proof of this then the reasons below will back up these claims

While it is true that PC gaming is on the decline this does not spell the end for game testing. The fact that people seem to be playing online games now means that there are more opportunities than ever for the game tester. More people are now playing games than at any time in the past and the rise of online gaming has been responsible for this.

People of all ages and from different walks of life are getting enjoyment from online games. This means that the demand for game testers is on the increase.

There are a number of people who thought that game testing communities would pose a threat to game testers but this is not the case at all. These communities have become the training ground for the next generation of testers. Although the pay is not great with the game testing communities it allows those who do work there to get the experience they need to get the better paid jobs. This process helps the whole game testing profession.

As well as the larger game developers still being there, there are also a number of smaller game developers around. This means a leap in the employment possibilities for game testers. Those with less experience may find that these independent developers will be more willing to take a chance on them.
