I missed this earlier in the year, but in the 2023 #GDC State of the Industry survey, more attendees of the game developers conference said they worked at an Indie Studio (39%) than for a Triple A studio (23%).

What does that mean for the overall *size* of the games industry? Do we know how representative GDC is? Even if it's closer to 50/50 that still suggests there's a HUGE amount of indie studios and indie game makers out there.

From a climate standpoint, working in indie studios *probably* means less emissions per employee, but without knowing how indie devs there are... how do we know what the total industry impact is?
