Dont games tester work from home??? have the games sent to them and then you report back on problems etc??

Not usually before a public or closed beta is running, and there is always a risk of code/pics getting leaked if games are taken off-site.

I work in the games industry, we had an application from someone in the US who asked if we could send games over to them via standard post and they would e-mail us any bugs that were found.
