IGDA Lowering Membership Fees

Posted by Zonk on from the more-for-the-money dept.

Frictionless Insight is reporting that the International Game Developers Association is lowering their membership fees after a split with their former management organization. From the article: "Ordinary memberships now cost roughly half what they previously cost, and other memberships have been discounted somewhat. For example, a standard one-year membership has dropped from $100 to $48." This can only mean good things, as more beginnign developers become a part of the association.

    I know people say that they join for the magazine but the real reason people join the IGDA is so that they can attend the free (quite literally as-in-beer) bar sessions run locally by IGDA chapters.

    IGDA has a pretty big presence every year at the Game Developer's Conference. Still, it's quite true that they don't have a huge amount of members. One of the reasons commonly cited for this was that the membership fee was so high, so this is a good first step.
