Shut your son of a bitching mouth you piece of shitfuck.

Fuck you

Was this guy trying to pull a Clerk’s “I’m taking it back” moment or something similar?

Shit, you have one of those too? So much for my own millionaire fantasy 

I can respect that 

I remember A-train. And Melvin. And Rich Richardson. And Hiro from Game Freak…so long ago.

The only other place at the time in that area was Microsoft, but then you’d have to work for the dreaded Volt temp services. I did once. It made Nintendo seem like a paradise in comparison

Ha ha! I see what you did there! I actually was that uncle, in a sense.

Most game companies will credit temp wa testers for their work. Nintendo is one of the few standouts that doesn’t. Reason being is that, technically, Nintendo of America doesn’t have a qa department that is not directly controlled by Nintendo of Japan, and it’s THEIR policy that must be adhered to, and they care fuck

The amount of “meetings” that I have personally witnessed scheduled @ Bungie for certain departments…I’m not being sarcastic when I say I’m surprised that they can ever even hit a milestone, let alone have the time to polish anything beyond a dull luster 

I was QA for over a decade in the games industry. I have complaints enough to fill a phone book sized publication 

Hey there. I am on the opposite side of that observation. I had myself worked at Bungie for six months as a contract tester for the initial release of Destiny 2. I am, well, was a veteran of the game industry with over a decade of work experience under my belt, and I have to say that it was one of the most

The ability to simply play a goddamn music cd (yes, some of us still own those)

What, I’m greyed too? Double fuck you Lifehacker 

Ummm, no. To hell with 90% of this hipster bullshit list.

Of course you’re correct. But as someone who had worked QA crunch for, at one time, months on end…well, I guess shareholders will just have to suck it up and realize that games are just going to take longer than expected to develop.

Yup. Nintendo of America is the ONLY game company THAT I KNOW OF that has a unique hourly plus salary payout for full time QA testers. At least they did back in the late 90’s.

AS IT SHOULD BE!!! 👍

It’s already here. Some of the crap available on the PlayStation store is downright embarrassing.
