QA should not be treated as disposable. QA is a skilled profession. QA validates that the game is representative of the quality the company wants to achieve in their product. QA is not just playing games all day. QA is finding game breaking bugs so they don’t reach the player. QA is loading the game on multiple devices 100s of times making sure the game doesn’t crash on launch. QA is thinking about potential bugs ahead of time when a new feature is concepted. QA is running through lengthy test matrices every time to make sure no new bugs have crept up.
