What Game Makers Really Earn

[bobisimo]

Game testing certainly is too high, take 10k off the annual salary, and that's more realistic, and it's normally not a long term job, they will only need you for 3 months on average, unless you can get a fixed position at the agency that hired you.

Again, it really depends on to what you're referring. The terms "game tester" and "QA" are often used interchangeably, even though the duties are as different as, to use my prior example, an editor for a publisher -- and the friend who reads your book and tells you how good it is while pointing out a few typos.

Lol Ms Pacman. Why?

Also, it's times like these I'm glad to be a suit, or at least well on my way to being one. It so happens I wouldn't mind investing in this industry if I had anything like the coin required.

I love how the comments on the page with the chart repeatedly say it's screwed up. Really adds to the whole thing.
