Why Game Developers Hire Hard Core Gamers

By Lincoln Rogers


Since the star of the Century the whole video gaming industry has been revolutionized. The video enhancements and advanced graphics that have now been mastered thanks to the new technology available have taken the art of video gaming to a whole new dimension.

Gone are the days when people just used to play a nice little video game for half an hour or so to past the time or to relax and wind down. The new breed of gamers play these games very seriously indeed and get totally drawn into the whole spectrum of the video world as they live and breathe every minute of the game.

There are now a lot of game developers, software companies and game promoters that now hire many of these gamers for various roles because of their skill on the video games. This new breed of gamer is now known as the pro gamers.

Many pro gamers are given contracts by these organizations to compete for them at many of the big gaming events that are now staged. The companies actually sponsor pro gamers individually and in teams and pay for all their training as well as paying to take them to the events and any expenses incurred during their stay.

There are now many tournaments and gaming events that are held throughout the year and all over the world. Some of the games that often have sponsored pro gamers are Counter-strike, Fifa, Quake3, Warcraft3, Quake 4 and much more.

These gaming events sometimes have cash prizes of up to $400,000 for the winner and are often sponsored by the likes of Pepsi or Intel and many more large conglomerates.

This is not the only way that gamers can earn a living from their skills. Many developers and game designers pay for gamers to test their products before they are officially launched. They recognize the benefit of the feedback that these gamers can give them in relation to their games.

So these companies are paying for the gamer's expert opinions on their games. This now means that video gaming can actually be a worthwhile job opportunity.
