Couldn't have said it better myself. LGBT folks are a minority of a minority. 20%+ is a massive overrepresentation.
You people do understand that 'all game developers' means 'entire developer population' - of which 'AAA' makes up less than 5%. There's listeraly 10s of millions of devs out there.
All of us got huge backlogs, usually 100+ games, on top we arent forced to play all those bad woke games, even if we play 10% of AA and AAA games that come out we will have our schedule full for next few years, and by then hopefully woke virus dies downSo... we're getting an all-digital future, higher prices, less content, political agendas and longer development cycles? Yeah, it's looking more and more like an easy hobby to walk away from.
I'd bet that the vast majority of them are women claiming to be "pansexual" or some other nonsense buzzword. That's why LGBT numbers have skyrocketed among zoomers.
Yeah, I'm talking about a possible all-too-near dystopian future in gaming, but maybe we can avoid that asteroid? Dunno, but it's as you said: backlogs will save the day in that instance.All of us got huge backlogs, usually 100+ games, on top we arent forced to play all those bad woke games, even if we play 10% of AA and AAA games that come out we will have our schedule full for next few years, and by then hopefully woke virus dies down
Let 5-10 more woke high budget trash bomb hard, thinking akin to concord or da:v, not goverment sanctioned relatively small budget dustborne, private funds dont like losing money, and they gonna lose plenty, it will teach them coz soon they will realise what us-hardcore veteran gamers know for many years already- modern audience doesnt buy AAA woke trash games, most of them play for free on fortnite/valorant etc, but when it comes to paying 70$usd at launch, its up to us, veteran anti woke hardcore gamers, and guess what- we like what we like- just gotta keep voting with our wallets and not afraid to be politically correct when criticising bad games for their flaws
plenty of woke games sold alot
Over represented .. this needs to be fixed
That's Anita Sarkeesian's take.
BG3 was amazing game and if u didnt want to u didnt have to suffer tru any of that woke shit, it was simply optional, kinda like stuff in DA:I was back over 10years ago, which sold 12m copies too.
The bubble will burst obviously.So... we're getting an all-digital future, higher prices, less content, political agendas and longer development cycles? Yeah, it's looking more and more like an easy hobby to walk away from.
"YET MY FEET DONT TOUCH THE GROUND"
we all pick our own battles and can enjoy woketard games.
I lost myself to all those percentages of different things.... So how much is that in total dead weight?
Women And Non-Binary Devs Now Make Up 32 Percent Of All Game Developers, Up From 24 Percent In 2022
Almost a quarter of developers identified as LGBTQ+ in GDC's State of the Game Industry report.www.thegamer.com
The game development space is undergoing a seismic shift in its diversity makeup, with the GDC State of the Game Industry report finding that 32 percent of all game developers now identify as female or non-binary/
This is up three percent when compared to last year's report and eight percent when compared to 2022's. However, it suggests that women and non-binary developers are still slightly under-represented when compared to their male counterparts.
Males Still Make Up 66 Percent Of All Game Developers, 24 Percent Identify As LGBTQ+
GDC's report finds that men still make up 66 percent of all game developers, down from 75 percent in 2020—a nine percent decrease over the last four years. 66 percent, of course, still puts males in the majority.
Alongside an increase in women and non-binary developers, the report found that almost a quarter of game developers (24 percent) identified as LGBTQ+. This represents a three percent year-on-year increase. It found that almost half (43 percent) of developers aged between 18 and 24 identify as LGBTQ+, with women far more likely to do so.
"The report found that almost a quarter of all game developers (24 percent) identified as LGBTQ+."
In terms of ethnicity, the State of the Game industry report found that 59 percent of developers were White/Caucasian, 10 percent were Hispanic, Latino, or of Spanish Origin, and only three percent were Black, African, or Caribbean.
This split meant that there was a slight increase in racial diversity at game studios, with the number of White/Caucasian respondents down from 64 percent, but development houses were still predominantly staffed by the latter. The publishers of the report do note that due to the fact that the survey takes place in the United States, certain responses may "not always represent the views of the global community at large."
The culmination of the 'Global Game Developer Community' section of GDC's report found that 35 percent of all respondents were white, male, and not part of the LGBTQ+ community. It shows that while strides have been made to diversify the industry, there is still a little way to go.
"GDC's report found that 35 percent of all respondents were white, male, and not part of the LGBTQ+ community."
Calls for broader diversity in the gaming space have been growing for several years now, and several prominent game developers and studios have spoken up about the issue. Last year, Tales of Kenzera: Zau's director, Abubakar Salim, delivered a heartfelt message following racial abuse he'd received, saying that diverse games are "for everyone," and CD Projekt Red's CEO recently rubbished claims that "diversity hires" were ruining the studio. But as support grows for these initiatives, so does discontent from a vocal minority.
