Any amount of actual testing that is ostensibly done is just farmed out to brown countries where they just lie about how much actual work is being done.
Imagine getting paid to play video games...and still lying about doing the work.
Honestly, from what I've been told about "video game testing" as a job its the kind of work that makes you hate playing video games and I'd absolutely eventually end up lying about it too if I could get away with it.
But that's the issue with any job. Making your employees not have so little oversight they can get away with it, but also having enough morale to not be tempted to.
I mean to be fair game testing is tedious as fuck. Most of it isn't playing the game it is "run into every wall from every possible angle to make sure you don't clip through and fall through the earth."
Right, but lots of jobs are tedious, some are tedious and awful and dangerous, and they still need to get done, by the people who are being paid to do them.

Work ethic and pride.
