Risk: Moderate

I’d rate the risk a 3 out of 5 because while there is a moderate risk of not earning as much as expected, the financial investment is typically low. The main losses are likely to be time and energy, as the work can be demanding and repetitive. Beginners might spend time applying for positions or testing games without significant financial return initially. However, the startup costs are minimal, usually requiring just a decent computer and internet connection. Online discussions often highlight the challenge of breaking into the industry and the potential for low pay, but significant financial loss is uncommon.
