Quality of Life Survey
September 03, 2009 | Comments (0)

We encourage you to take the new IGDA Quality of Life survey!

A few moments of your time will provide essential data on the current state of game developers. The IGDA's Quality of Life SIG will use this data to try to improve the game development experience industry-wide. All survey data will remain anonymous and used in aggregate. The IGDA's Quality of Life SIG studies these problems and will propose practical solutions in the next Quality of Life White Paper.
