Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really just get paid to play video games all day?

While you will be playing games, it's a very structured and methodical job. As a tester, you will be following specific instructions to find and document bugs, not just playing for fun.

What is the difference between Game Testing and Community Moderation?

Game Testing (QA) is focused on the technical quality of the game itself—finding glitches, exploits, and bugs. Community Moderation is focused on the social health of our player community—enforcing our code of conduct in forums and chat. You will be trained in both.

Will I have to deal with toxic players?

Yes. A key part of the Community Moderator role is to identify and take action on player-reported content that violates our "Play Nice; Play Fair" value, which can include toxic behavior. Resilience is a critical skill.

What kind of training is provided if I have no experience?

We provide a comprehensive, multi-week, paid virtual training program led by our expert QA and Community leads. You will learn everything about our testing procedures, our community policies, and our internal software.

What are the main benefits and perks of this job?

The starting pay is excellent, between $19.00 and $23.00 per hour. The key perks that gamers love are the free games, the in-game currency allowance, and the chance to get your name in the credits.

Is this a permanent job with a set schedule?

Yes, this is a permanent, full-time position with a structured, set schedule. We are looking for dedicated individuals who want to start a long-term career in the gaming industry.
