The gaming industry has it particularly bad. The industry is high risk. Like any type of software but gaming is a very competitive market in addition. Like the rest of the entertainment industry it really makes dependable employment more difficult. It only works as long as you manage to produce successful titles. That said, a company the size of Blizzard should be able to pay decent wages for QA. I don't know how it is today but older Blizzard games had excellent QA and their products were very polished compared to the rest of the market and they were recognized by that. So trying to save a few bucks in this department is negligent management and should immediately be stopped as it would undermine their successful strategy.
