>D’Angelo reached out to Pavlovich through an unnamed intermediary. “He would come in here [Rockstar’s New York city office] and just play the game. We weren’t even talking about doing music,” Pavlovich says. “When D’Angelo comes through, he shows up at midnight, and he’s playing the game until four in the morning. Each time he was just like, ‘it’s incredible.’ It just blows his mind. He’s such a fan. I have never seen someone that excited.”

That's not really the same as the job that actual playtesters do. Like I doubt he was spending his 4 hours in Strawberry logging collision detection inconsistencies with horses and various types of fences.

My heart goes out to the actual testers/QA who had to do overtime until 4am so some celebrity could play a video game.

Well I'm not a playtester either, so no, not gatekeeping. Just saying one of those things isn't a profession.
