How DevQuest keeps this list honest

Game-dev hiring is full of stale and "ghost" postings. DevQuest shows how long each role has been live and flags listings that keep getting re-posted, so you don't waste an afternoon applying into the void. We show real salary only when the studio publishes it, never an invented "competitive" range, and we link you straight to the studio's own application page. No recruiters, no ads, and we never sell your data.
