All these problems are probably the same at the majority of jobs
Comment from : @robbieg25

It sounds like you didn’t work well with others with an overly negative attitude I’m not disagreeing that being a tester in QA is hard, but your attitude is not helping
Comment from : @Nowandwhen

lol you make the devs sound like jerks n idiots
Comment from : @tunjr

I can see the trauma in the eyes 😭
Comment from : @AiRsTrIkExXzZ

That sounds like highschool brLmao 😂
Comment from : @AntonioGarcia-ph5we

Stopped listening when you complained about "SJWs" lmao sounds like you may have been part of the problem The gaming industry is notoriously uncomfortable for women
Comment from : @Rexuhnt

You're not painting a great picture of QA testers or other professionals in the game industry here mate, complaining about girls and "SJW'S"
Comment from : @GudetamaSit

horrible
Comment from : @ingemar_von_zweigbergk

As an accountant, your description of the cons sounds great Got a AAA interview this week!
Comment from : @YoungCub

Thank youBut it also sounds like your company culture wasn't great either and lacked good leadership
Comment from : @Firefox-hw3co

Not sure if I'll get a response from a 4 year old video but I'll try my shot - how hard is it to get into QA? I'm down to taking courses to join the gaming industry but for the most part, I see job listings mainly being posted in the US/Canada however I'm based in Europe I don't even know what's a good source to look for job listings
Comment from : @Bowrius

Its funny Ive had many jobs completely unrelated to this that dealt with the same problems I still dont understand why A LOT of people turn into assh*les at the job
Comment from : @ElliotAlderson-cg2qk

Explains why a lot of gamers are broken at nowadays
Comment from : @DigitalDash-

Thanks for the good info!
Comment from : @JohnofFinland291

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 Youtubers who just test games for fun
Comment from : @40GamersCompany

So you dont like social justice, but you now complain about suffering injstice in a social ambient such as your work place And you seems to be VERY into remarking all thats fair or not about people around youbrbrOf course being a tester is boring and not taken as serious as deserved, you are supposed to be behind the stage Are your bug reports really as valuable as you think? Have you considered that maybe the fact the you are a gamer is not enough for you to make valuable tests? Complaining too much and focusing too much on how people treats you in an unfair manner maybe show something from your behavior in that ambient that you are not being honest here, in your not social justice war
Comment from : @MrCaotico666

Now they just throw games to the internet wolves instead of hiring testers

Not cool to point out guy having autism
Comment from : @FreyaFromAsgard

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
Comment from : @Blue-wc8yi

It’s a lowlife job Don’t be surprised if you run into lowlife people
Comment from : @xavierpierce2598

Thanks, I'm trying to decide if I should go for game testing or mobile testing
Comment from : @JDMorris81

I was like you, I always dreamed that being a game tester would be the perfect job for me, I have always been a gamer, luckily I was never able to find much opportunity from in the UK I feel I dodged a bullet Great video Was there a part 2? I can't seem to find it
Comment from : @AkaAshen

Idk I guess there is a management issue there
Comment from : @Donotdownload728

Thank youbrRespect your honesty
Comment from : @naturalmystic5098

7:10 That dude never got let go because they were afraid of what he’d do if they let him go
Comment from : @calmthesoul834

Bro really still using "SJW" and complained about someone with autism yet clearly an undiagnosed autist himself
Comment from : @BunnyBoyMcGill

Maybe you want to change the name of the video to: my experience as a game QA
Comment from : @andresastorga2699

How much were you actually making, salary or hourly?
Comment from : @anonymousronin3731

The fact that the devs don't want feedback is literally what's holding video games back today
Comment from : @Nin_the_Shinobi

Some of your issues are just typical office culture issues SJWs, open harassment, leads not leading, cliques, talking behind back, nepotism, ectbrbrNot to say "get over it" or anything like that, just saying that its not directly associated with the job
Comment from : @kension7

Now game developer's are releasing Beta versions of games So they don't have to pay people to test their games
Comment from : @Xboxking-vc3vi

Want good pay and health insurance, sounds like you're a SJW
Comment from : @hattree

Is it weird that some of your negatives sound like fun to me lmao
Comment from : @dtanobo

Do you Have to be Really good at games to be a tester?
Comment from : @peter3327

who watches youtube and podcasts while at work man? lol
Comment from : @allaboutjapan-q7j

Work at EA as a game tester for 8 years Love every moment of it, and miss every moment of it There's ups and down, but when you have great colleagues, you dont have to worry about all the bad shit I wish i could go back, but i heard they are not what it used to be
Comment from : @nwyk153

depressing but honest and much appreciated perspective thanks
Comment from : @davidsingleton391

I imagine there's alot of condescending from higher up nerds all day Sounds fun
Comment from : @gregorybarnard5593

All Warframe players are game testers xDbrbrbrbrbrBAM! #DE
Comment from : @petem3rlin81

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
Comment from : @vaa33nn65

🤣 knowing the other side of this makes the video so much funnier
Comment from : @DrMudkipMDPhD

Sounds like EA
Comment from : @Nalaimissyou

This sound like a rant and you bitching instead of saying pros and cons
Comment from : @johnnyroberts803

Wow Is this guy angry about his previous job and has now come online, on YouTube, to complain?
Comment from : @uzzitheone123

I gotta know this "AAA" company youre talking about because it sounds smaller scale of a team and that you had a poor experience lol, this video was mostly negative with minimal pros which is highly unlikely at a triple a
Comment from : @R1ckJames

Did you work any other manual QA jobs? How would you compare them to gaming QA?
Comment from : @TheReal_Pim_Tool

oh god my experience in QA was so much more peaceful than that xD I guess I was lucky ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Comment from : @RikaTheMessyCosplayer

Thanks for you're perspective on this Job hunting rn and came across game testing I'd think I would love it but their are 2 sides to every story lol
Comment from : @Yoxu-0

whats a good company to start with
Comment from : @AOW-Vëë

Thanks for sharing with us, but actually most of what you say is just your personal experience form your specific workplace, and not general stuff about being a game tester
Comment from : @dingross

Your swords are upside-down
Comment from : @christophercampbell8355

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
Comment from : @joenowak7212

With all due respect, was this your first real job? This legitimately sounds like the majority of real workplaces in the real world
Comment from : @akomplissgaming

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 stuffbrbrGood video Thanks for sharing I love hearing everyone's experiences and opinions
Comment from : @foolsanticsstudio

Sounds like you were working at Blizzard This story sounds awfully familiar to what I’ve been hearing from them
Comment from : @Sindoku

Comment from : @linuxva

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!
Comment from : @MarxDerg

I’m 15 and very interested in video game testing when I’m able to but I have a couple questions; 1 what are the requirements, 2 what are things I should learn or do to be more fit for this job, 3 what’s the hourly pay and how long would a new hire work for, 4 is it as complicated as it sounds, 5 what type of experience do you need for this job that’s all my questions for now sorry if some or all of them are stupid or bad questions
Comment from : @Glourp

Makes me wonder how buggy games like any new 3d pokemon get the okay for sale Are they justokay with the bugs?
Comment from : @ericdublinski3206

Comment from : @scatman1424

Comment from : @Ardish17

Awn that's sad, it's a sad experience, so far I love this so much! We also have the chance to wfh too so it's really cosy The people are amazing and they really prone wellness either from work or in general, they are so comprehensive! The salary just raised because of the cost of living There is con, but with my experience I have many more pro's! Even get to work with my brother so that makes it more amazing!

Comment from : @Jonoxthomascito6516

Do you have to do coding when starting, for any gaming company when testing?
Comment from : @Withered_Souls187

Comment from : @SEEKANDSTREAM

feels so hard to get into this industry ad a belizean hope i can make it
Comment from : @inoobtacular501

The company should have had a chill out room, and help for the Autistic person because Autistic people need more helpbrbrThey should have sat down and said to the personbr"Look, I am not upset with you for destroying those monitors, but try not to do that, If you keep on doing it, it will come out of your paycheck or you will be late go!"brbrBut unfortunately the Devs are rubish and they don't sound like they help anyone, not even the once that really need helpbrbrThat Autistic person could have been a treasure to be around, but the company didn't help them grow instead it sounds like they threw them into the deep end to fend for themselvesbrbrI do want to test video games 🎮 and make video games however I want to join Indi Developers reacher than big corporationsbrI have heard too many horror stories from big corporatebrToo many

As a QA Tester working with QA studios, best job I've ever had
Comment from : @affidavid5292

Lol sounds like every other job When I think of game testers it reminds me of the movie grandmaboys
Comment from : @spwan10

Dude you say it like all QA jobs are like this I don't even work QA but I can say for a fact every issue you had was based upon having a bad work environment and bad staff Just cause I have an issue at one mcdonald's location, it doesn't mean every single mcdonald's around the world is the same
Comment from : @brwntwn123

Why would they want you to be fat???
Comment from : @exileisland2675

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
Comment from : @KvngKaiDaDxmonMMII

Sad reality of working in the US

Comment from : @joshuacruz7541

QA game testing is for young people You cannot raise a family on the salaries in the QA game industry unless you are in upper management
