Yeah that's gotta be it, but one person answering $1M and five people answering $1M is really different data! Even though both would be 1% rounded up

To be fair this survey is available to anyone with the link, not just GDC attendees. (Eg. I filled it out from a bsky link and I haven't been to GDC in 13 years)
But that also means there's no vetting of who answers it.

On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.
