The position grids for the 2021 Croner Software Games Survey will cover ten new software gaming job families this year.  These additions result from discussions with survey participant companies at the annual Survey Planning Meeting.  The meeting was attended by human resources and compensation professionals from companies developing and/or publishing games in all platform types including mobile, social, console, PC, handheld, MMO, cloud and casino games.

The new job families ensure the Survey remains relevant and continues to reflect all current roles in the industry.  The new job families to be added to the 2021 Survey Positions Grids are:

  • Merchandising
  • Combat Design
  • Content Design
  • Mission / Quest Design
  • Technical Sound Design
  • Trust and Safety
  • Audio Engineering
  • Distribution and Partnerships
  • Financial Planning and Analysis

  • Product-development-specific incentive plan design features
  • Dealer / distributor sales incentive plan design features
