I've seen user testing with video game development; both in-house and contracted out. Whether it's useful really comes down to who is personally attached to the design in question and how much institutional power they have. I've seen games trashed in testing only to have the lead designer double down on their designs; which always goes about as well as you'd expect.

YEP. It's amazing to see a game design fundamentally fall apart when users get a hold of the product and then see the game designers tearing their hair out. They do usually double down and call the gamers dumb or something lol.
