EA has been getting worse and worse every year as far as bugs with their PC games.

Sounds like it'd be an easy job then

Sounds like it'd be an easy job then

how do you figure that? more bugs = more work

and for those that don't know
"In 2004, Electronic Arts was criticized for employees working extraordinarily long hours—up to 100 hours per week— and not just at "crunch" times leading up to the scheduled releases of products. The publication of the EA Spouse blog, with criticisms such as "The current mandatory hours are 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.—seven days a week—with the occasional Saturday evening off for good behaviour (at 6:30 p.m.)".[17] The company has since settled a class action lawsuit brought by game artists to compensate for "unpaid overtime".[18] The class was awarded $15.6 million. As a result, many of the lower-level developers (artists, programmers, producers, and designers) are now working at an hourly rate. A similar suit brought by programmers was settled for $14.9 million.[19]"

Actually that is most likely why they are looking for testers in the first place.

I would sign up, but I really don't game that much as I used to any more.

One thing is for sure, by the looks at the last couple of years titles....they definitely could use some good play testers!
