    its a scam by the way if you don't want to follow the link

    The website that you've linked to uses affiliate links and is practically a scam in itself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭thebman


    It looks like they want you to pay to get paid for testing games.

    If someone asks for money but promises higher returns, it is a scam.

    ye complete scam talking to another person online and they said that they tried it and when they weren't happy they sent them an email and never got a return

    Well... obviously it's a scam. WTF? Why would you pay for a subscription to a recruitment agent? Real game testers are payed minimum wage as far as I know.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭thebman


    Most games testers are paid above minimum wage I would imagine as it actually requires skills to do it properly.

    Public beta testing is another issue entirely, the game is practically finished at that point.

    Games testers are paid above minimum wage in Ireland, but they still aren't paid anything fantastic. In the UK, games testers, especially those starting out, will only be paid about minimum wage as there are so many to choose from. Most getting paid decent wages have more than paid their dues.

    It would be nice to be a paid player but unless you've won conpetitions so that your name can be tagged to their ad campain to die hard gamers you're going to get little to play the games seeing as these days most are able to play to a higher degree :) before you say it, I know that there are a lot of ****e players but for what they are looking for there are plenty who will do it for next to nothing.

    It should noted Game testing is not fun as these sites make out, you are looking for and logging problems and bugs not playing the game as in Beta testing.
