Activision Senior QA tester Sam Hudson

oh

At work, I have also been an Inclusive Game Design Ambassador for the past year and a half. I have researched and created documents for various projects as an IGD Ambassador. I have also been part of the ABK wide LGBTQIA+ leadership team, and have successfully lead two pride celebrations at the Austin Activision QA office. Last year, with collaborative efforts, I was able to get ABK into Austin Pride’s festival as a booth for the first time ever which greatly increased company visibility and showed ABK’s support of the Queer community. At my office I am also part of the Employee Engagement Committee and have helped collaborate and create various events in the office for my coworkers to celebrate and enjoy. Since working at ABK, I have worked on many COD games and gotten experience in many avenues. I could not do all of this without the amazing support of my coworkers, leadership (looking at you Adrian Ledda and Alayna Cole), as well as amazing managers (Jake Insinna especially).

Imagine if ResetERA.com dedicated itself to digging into the reporting and claims made around the gaming industry with an eye on skepticism of all dominant narratives instead of rushing to the same easy to predict mindless screeching that buys into whatever any idiot says that confirms what they don't need any evidence to already always know.

Senior QA at CoD? Maybe spend less time writing documents and actually do QA and the game won’t be such a broken shit show as it currently is, just a thought.
