Hi!  Yeah it&#039;s a great game!  I actually did a preview of it on IGM .  We can&#039;t post it on ABG though until they release a playable build of it to the public.  As soon as they release one though, we&#039;d love to cover it!  :)]]></description>

Hi, 
Do you mean how do you become a paid beta tester?  

It&#039;s quite a hard field to get into nowadays as it&#039;s becoming less common for devs to pay beta testers.  With Kickstarter and Early access becoming so successful, most devs don&#039;t have to pay people to Beta test any-more (infact, with early access Beta Testers pay the Devs for the honour of Beta Testing their game).  This is understandable as indie devs usually don&#039;t have the budget to pay for beta testers anyway. 

The big companies don&#039;t employ as many Beta testers either nowadays, as people are always chomping at the bit to test their new releases (DayZ, Hearthstone, DOTA 2 &amp; Elder Scrolls online for example).  Obviously they still do some in-house testing (although going but BF4, Sim City &amp; NBA Live it doesn&#039;t look like EA gives a shit about it anymore), so if you really do want to become a full time beta tester, you just have to apply to the companies directly, as you would with any other job. 

It can be a very tedious job though, and it&#039;s not as fun as you would expect.  There&#039;s a good article on it &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/BriceMorrison/20130514/192197/The_Truth_about_Being_a_Beta_Tester.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;

Best of luck, I hope this has been of some help  :)]]></description>
