If you’ve worked in gaming, did your job change how you approached playing?

To be very honest with you, doing 2 jobs is a tough thing to do because you will hardly have time for yourself and some will do 4 jobs. 

I would do two jobs with ease unless the kind of job in question is something that's very stressful that's going to wear me out quickly.

My friend in China just got a job as a tester in one video games company over there. I will ask about how he feels towards games in 6 months time, to see how he's been affected.

The time frame of 6 months on the job is going to be more than enough to impact on his views on games positively or negatively.

I've tried my hands on mobile game testing, it paid off, I earned some rewards testing mobile games and apps, but the job wasn't consistent.

I got the chance to test out games, but the pay rate beck then which I got isn't much, and the task to test and bring result out of the game too is demanding.

Yeah, when there isn't so many games being developed and released always, you will find few jobs to do.

How much did you earn from working as a video game tester back then? Which games did you test out and which company did you work for?

I worked for test.io, you can search through the site if you wish. There you'll get to earn $10 per successful mobile video game you tested with reasonable evidence.

I struggled with the game testing, not just with video games to test out. I do see 2-3 games to test out weekly. The problem is testing with your desktop computer and reporting the bugs in the game, and sharing your experience about the game overall.

And you would not still be paid well enough for all the job done on the games. To make money isn't easy at all.

xD, it isn't easy at all. To complete the task, you need expertise and your description should be written in a professional way. But it isn't all that hard, just that it doesn't come steady.

I have never considered doing that kind of work because I know that it's something that's going to be very demanding by all means.

It isn't all that demanding as you think, just that, you need to give accurate information, don't rush when it comes to testing and and given out your genuine review on a particular game you're asked to test.

And after all these accurate information on the game's that's been tested, they will still release the game with bugs.

More like they are not doing anything with the information given or provided for them by the video games testers.
