Paid To Test

I am seeing lots of people that got paid to beta test games. Shouldn't POTCO beta testers at least get free access to the Open server?

Aye chris but the hassle we went through from the start was a mess, and the fact i remember once of a rumor yes i said rumor that we were indeed to recieve free open server accounts. But that turned out just like recieving our crew kits, but i do agree with davy i was there testing and feel we were very deserving.

Of course we are deserving, livewire. If I don't get my cloth map, crew kit, AND certificate of authenticity, I'm afraid I'll have to report the POTCO staff to Disney for cheating me out of my money.

I've alpha/beta tested over 35 game and NEVER have been paid for it. In fact, I tend to send the Devs a nice thank-you package at the end of beta.

Most people who get paid to test games are actually employed in-house at the production company. For instance, I know Codemasters offers 6-week intern temp jobs to test their games in-house. I am aware that many other companies do the same.

I read a lot of game forums where the beta testers WANT freebies given to them because they VOLUNTEERED to test the game before release. Disney paid you by allowing you to play the game before release.

I consider that paid in full.

Perhaps if you apply for an in-house QA position at Disney, you would get your well deserved rewards.


Toodles,
