diagonal moves, while those in the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic category are the most likely. What’s perhaps most noticeable here is the gap
between promotions and diagonal moves, which is much larger in the White/British category (49 per cent promoted, 22 per cent diagonal) than for people in the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic category (46 per cent promoted, 35 per cent diagonal). This suggests a lack of promotion opportunities for
Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic workers, causing them to leave their current employers in search of career progression. Just 31 per cent of autistic people reported having
been promoted – which is far lower than those with other neurological conditions, and for those who do not have any neurological conditions at all. Additionally, the percentage of autistic people making diagonal moves is similar to those without any neurological conditions, coming out at 23 per cent and 24 per cent, respectively. “The result of this year’s games industry census
shows that the industry has made progress on building an equal, diverse and inclusive sector, adapting well to the immediate challenges posed by the pandemic, but that plenty of work still lies ahead,” said Dr Jo Twist OBE, CEO of Ukie. “We must ensure that initiatives like
#RaiseTheGame, which has signed up 205 partners since 2020, continues to play a key role in driving forward meaningful long-term change to ensure we do not miss out from the opportunities of being a truly inclusive sector.” “It’s essential to continue to pay attention to the makeup of who’s working in games relatively

frequently,” said Dr Mark Taylor, Senior Lecturer at the University of Sheffield. “Even if it turns out that the games industry looks similar to how that should be compared with the broader creative industries context, where the effects of the pandemic have been unequally experienced.”
