Why Game Makers Hire Expert Gamers

By Lincoln Rogers


The video gaming industry has certainly evolved over the last few years. The latest technology now has much more improved graphics which has made the appeal of video gaming a lot more popular. The growth of the gaming console, pc games and video games has been absolutely phenomenal.

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 has now become a breed known as the pro gamers that has surfaced today. The so called pro gamers are a group of video gamers that are employed by many software developers, game promoters and hardware companies.

There are pro gamers around that can be given contracts by large companies to take part in either team events or individual events at large gaming tournaments. The company sponsoring them would literally pay for any costs that these pro gamers incur from paying for their travel and duration of the stay at these tournaments to actual practice sessions.

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.

Large corporations such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Intel often sponsor these tournaments that offer large cash prizes for the eventual winners. This can sometimes be as much as $400,000.

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.
