In my time playing shooters and racing games, people in game chat are like 95%+ men. I don´t know where that 50% women gamers number comes from.Bet Candycrush pushes it significantly
I want to have that statistic by genres.
Explains why games have been going the shitter the last 5 years or so.
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.
Very true and it also equates to garbage games that flop like Concord, Dustborn and others.
Correlation is not causality.
I only caught up to the entire Gamergate thing a few recent years ago. I swear, man. That woman and her weird rambling radical takes managed to sully up and invite/drive lunacy into US west coast game studios. Its going take a while for her nonsensical influence to thin out.
You can ask that in retardera
Your post is predictable.
Are you sure that number is accurate?
Googling it, it is pretty much true. I get a lot of 45-46% kind of stats. BUT, what's key s the type of games played.Are you sure that number is accurate?
I would think that Nintendo has the largest percentage of women gamers and there numbers show that only 11% of their gamers are women.
I think he’s referencing the Circana “PlayerPulse” study from a while back. Mat Piscatella tweeted about it, while Schreier and the other usual suspects belittled people who questioned the validity of the data.Are you sure that number is accurate?

Looking at your chart more closely, the survey had to do with who is likely to purchase it not play it.Are you sure that number is accurate?

He brought biology back to the table, cutting through the nonsense of countless made-up genders and reaffirming the reality of only two: male and female.
I saw this chart as well. Imo, I think it appears the most accurate despite what the experts claim. The higher numbers or percentages from other sources were probably counting people who played a mobile game a few times I’m assuming.Are you sure that number is accurate?

And that's totally feasible for media jobs which are entertainment. Whether it does well or not, it doesn't really matter except perhaps loss of profits and the movie or game employee loses their job. So it really doesn't matter. That's why these kinds of industries hire them and the DEI crowd knows they can score a job as a political person, HR bandwagoner or consultant pushing political hot topics.
Are you saying it doesn’t matter because entertainment is unimportant compared to engineering and such?
Yes, in terms of safety, building code, or number crunching. I dont a get a sense a company building condos would hire talentless DEI guys designing a building with politics infused into it.
