Quite possibly one of the best gaming magazines out there (subject to some discussion), Edge Magazine recently took a look inside quality assurance in the games industry. Definitely one of the most in-depth reports into QA, Edge ponders whether it’s worth getting in to QA in it’s current state within the industry. That being a position that often times lacks any form of respect from team-members in other departments, features low wages, and is not always the springboard into game design or programming like many seem to think it is. With the current financial difficulties many publishers and studios are experiencing and the overall lack of true commitment to a trained, respected and well-paid QA department around the industry, I tend to ask myself, is it all still worth it?
