McBoyd 355 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Companies do send you games, but mainly any and every game. You could get sent, BARBIE: PRINCESS REVENGE, and you'd have to play EVERY part of the game, testing anything that could wrong, literally doing everything you can. They don't pay you to choose a game you like, complete it once and send it back http://www.gamestester.com/faq.asp http://www.funcareers.com/categories/bu/cr...ame_Tester.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although someone from america better confirm this as i think this was back in 2002 Exactly, i was talking to a waiter in new york and he said he was making $3.50 an hour , that was in NEW YORK.. Haha $11 is pretty good to them, as they have a cheaper standard of living too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
