Game Developer Survey Probes Game Industry Gender GapAs part of Game Developer magazine's 5th Annual Salary Survey, published in full in the April 2006 issue of the Gamasutra sister publication, up to date details about the current gender make-up of the video game industry have been revealed.
The survey, conducted by firm Audience Insights on behalf of Game Developer, and targeting Game Developers Conference 2005 attendees, Game Developer magazine subscribers, and Gamasutra website members in January 2006, received over 6,000 unique responses, and used final sample data of over 3,000 qualified responses.
The survey revealed overall average game professional make-up and salary by gender was 90% male, with an average salary of $74,518, compared to 10% female, with an average salary of $69,704.
This compares interestingly to two years ago, when the Game Developer Salary Survey had women in only 7% of game industry jobs, showing that the female quotient is increasingly somewhat rapidly.
