Developer Insight Survey
The Developers Insights Survey is a new effort from IGDA to gather data insights to inform the association and the industry with unprecedented evidence on the challenges, motivations and teamwork dynamics of game creators with their diverse backgrounds. The participation is voluntary and the data will be anonymized, stored and processed independently by the Collaborative Technologies Lab in Utrecht University, including the supervision of an Ethical Review Board and a Data Privacy Office.
