While two-thirds of men at US video game companies with at least six years of experience received an annual salary of at least US$125,000 (RM518,625), just 38% of women and non-binary people did, the survey shows. — AFP

Women working in the video-game industry earn 24% less than their male colleagues on average, according to a new survey – a wider gap than in the US at large that suggests the sector is still struggling to shed its male-dominated culture.

Some 60% of women and non-binary people working at video-game companies believe they are under-compensated, according to the report, which surveyed 562 US-based games workers in July.
