That you might not like actually working on a game as much as you like playing them. I'm saying that because I've met a few people that start their journey into game development, but end up hating it and move on to something else, like network engineering or system test engineering.

But if you want to be a tester, give it a shot. Reading Tom Slope's articles will help you make a more educated decision in how to get started and where to go.

Either way, don't get discouraged if you end up not enjoying the first path you take; there are plenty of different paths to take in the game industry and you can always try another route; be it a year from now, or 20 years.

Not much of an answer; more of a prep-talk, but I hope it helps.
