    This is common because of the term Software Developer but the developer part of game developer comes from the creation/construction side

    since when? When did the software part of game developer stop being about actual code development and start being more like property or community? That makes literally no sense at all. Developer as it relates to any sort of code means the person actually writing the code. To say otherwise is just ignoring the meaning of words.

        You misread that.

        is a person or company engaged in a software development process, including research, design, programming, testing, and other facets of creating computer software

        does not mean software testers are developers, it means that software development includes testing, and a person that does software development might be involved in all of the above.

        Notice how the next sentence includes no such title that would be confused with a person that isn’t writing code.

        Other job titles for people with similar meanings include programmer, software analyst, or software engineer.

            Someone or a company engaged in the software development process is a software developer. If the software development process includes these things then those taking part in the development process are called developers. The next line marks the confusion you see with the term developers.

            This is just absolutely false, and I’m sorry, I just don’t want to continue to argue this. Good luck.
