Some may feel that it is the stupidest question one may ask, but in fact the answer for that question is- yes. Testing Video games is one of the most important phases of development of video games and this task is taken up by video gamers/testers whose job is to play games and make a note of all the minor as well as major glitches and bugs in the game and prepare a report for the developers. These game testers do get a decent paycheck and at the same time get to play games that have not yet released in the market.
