Update to this chart that I share a lot. Not breaking news: Game design teams are still OVERWHELMINGLY all men. About 7% of the top 500 games have a woman or non-binary person credited as a designer. A 🧵of related charts: (1/6)

Obligatory #gencon2025 haul photo. A little lighter than previous years’ due to @chrispyha.bsky.social being cheap and wanting one fewer suitcase for lower airline fees. 💸

Many of these games were provided by publishers — we’ll disclose them on any follow-up coverage on goinganalogshow.com!
