BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Numerous people employed as testers for EA Sports, located on the LSU campus in Baton Rouge, were terminated Tuesday, Feb. 28.
An industry website, Kotaku, reports nearly 200 employees lost their jobs.
A spokesperson for EA Sports/Electronic Arts declined to provide WAFB with a specific number of affected employees, saying all of them worked for a third-party and were not actual employees of Electronic Arts.
The EA spokesperson, Lindsey Campbell, says that testing of that game will no longer be done at the Baton Rouge location.
“Testing games is an integral part of delivering the best experiences for our players,” Campbell said. “As part of our ongoing global strategy, we are expanding the distribution of our Apex Legends testing team and ending testing execution that’s been concentrated in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.”
Campbell said testing of that particular game will now be done globally, allowing the company to “increase the hours per week we’re able to test and optimize the game.”

What does testing video games pay?
I got some teenagers that will do that shite on the cheap.

In the live action 101 Dalmatians it's just one supernerd kid who tests every game. He holds all their fates in his hands as they hang on his every word

An on-site tester at a facility or a beta one at home?

Vast majority of the people there are contractors and basically are run through the mud until they burn out. The biggest thing they did was testing Madden
