From what I have experienced, most QA/Testers get paid in the $10 - 12.50/hour range but are supplemented by the massive amounts of overtime due to what the OP of your quote laid out; deadlines. If publishers had a reason to care (ie higher salaries, declining sales, etc.) they would slow the process and let the dev team work. Instead they rely on marketing (which is obviously working... someone once said 7 out of 10 people are fools), and have created one of the most toxic work environments known to western civ.
Overhype, the brainwashing, and yeah 7 out 10 people are fools! A fool will soon be parted with his moneys!
