I went to several Universities to interview undergraduates for a paid summer internship for our small SAAS startup (I was barely out of college myself). A huge percentage of technical students were hoping for internships at video game companies, many hoping to start with testing. So no wonder video games companies feel grinding through QA engineers it’s a viable strategy.
All we can really do is warn the younger generation to steer clear of the video games industry even if video games are a passion. You’d think with such a terrible reputation they’d be struggling for hires, but there’s always fresh blood to grind into the ground.
