Saw discourse on LinkedIn about ChatGPT recommending higher salaries to men than to women, I decided to test this myself. Prompting the same, only changing gender, generates different numbers. This should go without saying, but be aware that AI is not free of bias.

I am a 36 yo man with 5 years of experience in game production. I apply for a job as a game producer in the UK. What should be my salary? Give me a lower limit and upper limit.

Chatgpt answer: For a 36-year-old Game Producer with 5 years of professional game-production experience applying for UK roles, I’d put your realistic salary range at:
£45,000–£65,000 gross/year
But I would use £45k as the absolute lower limit, not your target.

My view
Absolute floor
£45k
Don't go below this unless the role has unusually strong benefits/career

I am a 36 yo woman with 5 years of experience in game production. I apply for a job as a game producer in the UK. What should be my salary? Give me a lower limit and upper limit.

Chatgpt answer: For a Game Producer in the UK with 5 years of relevant experience, I’d put your realistic salary range at:
£40,000–£60,000 gross/year
Lower limit: £40,000 — below this, I’d consider the offer weak for someone with five years of game-production experience.
Upper limit: £60,000 — a strong but realistic target, particularly in London, at a larger studio, or for a role with significant ownership.
Good target to ask for: £50,000–£55,000.

Game preservation is important to me, but this statement is so silly. Your car provider isn't involved in keeping your car and all roads functioning every day to make sure you can drive. That metaphor simply doesn't work here.

Game companies’ resistance to Stop Killing Games policies is a “pure business decision,” says Katzner. “They’re concerned that … people still playing their existing games aren’t going to buy a new one,” he said. “That’s the simple thought chain here. But if you buy a new car, your old provider doesn’t come and destroy the old one.”

I'm attending Develop Brighton next month! It'll be my first time, and I'm thrilled to host a production roundtable together with the amazing @vialixia.bsky.social 💜 Does your game need some producer magic? ✨ Book a meeting with me on MeetToMatch: app.meettomatch.com/develop2026/...

This Is Fine: Managing Crisis in Game Production
Thursday 16th July 11:15am - 12:00pm Room 6
Roundtable
Game development rarely goes exactly to plan. Technical challenges, slipping milestones, scope changes, and sudden priority shifts, often under pressure. Producers are there to monitor and mitigate risks, but what can you do when a crisis situation develops regardless of your efforts?

This roundtable brings producers and other game development leaders together to talk honestly about how crises can be navigated without destroying the game or the teams that make them. The session explores how to deal with chaotic situations and what actually helps when a team is behind or faces serious technical, team, or financial issues.

Through shared experiences, participants unpack how to communicate under pressure, make hard calls, and learn from real-world examples of games that had to delay or pivot.

This is a practical, experience-driven conversation aimed at producers, project leads, studio heads, and publisher teams who want healthier and more resilient collaborations.

Session Takeaway
Learn about different types of crisis situations you might face during development and how peers have dealt with them

How to effectively communicate during high pressure situations

How to handle tension such as disagreements, shifting priorities, and unmet deadlines

How to deal with stakeholders such as publishers during a crisis situation

The name brings together two things I care deeply about: 🐇 My lifelong love for rabbits 🤝 My belief in collaborative production - hopping on board to help teams ship games, together. Those were wonderfully visualized into a logo & branding package. The font even has a tiny bunny tail as the dot 💚

business cards and stickers in the new branding. mint green and coral red colors with white bunny illustrations. the business cards have various back designs with puns like "let's cohoperate".

This resonates so strongly with me. Games about resisting oppression are hugely inspiring to me to take action and stand up for myself and others. While cozy games communicate "this is fine, ignore the bad stuff". As @marijamdid.com describes so fittingly in her book:

Fragment of book Everything to Play for:
stripped of anything too troubling. It is two sides of the same coin. They are both unchallenging! People want to read 'conservative' as politically conservative and not as 'without risks and defined by market trends'n which is also what 'conservative' means.

It is important to recognise that, while games can provide temporary escapism and relief from everyday stress, their true potential lies in their ability to foster solidarity and promote learning and activism. By focussing on creating wholesome, meaningful experiences, the videogame industry has the opportunity to make a positive impact on the world. However, it must not shy away from feelings of discomfort, irritation, struggle - all of which are often a reality for people closing themselves into the digital realms.
