These last few years have been particularly difficult for game developers. We partner with nonprofits who focus on early career talent development. In addition to our data being freely available to all, we’ve been a data source for career influencers, job sites, and others for over twenty years.

The game industry has always had a “body trail” as the creative work we do needs to find an audience. Most studios quietly stop maintaining their websites and socials. gamedevmap is curated by a Data team and has a quarterly URL review process to reduce the number of these entries in our dataset.
