Read the genre map before comparing two datasets: the industry has no shared taxonomy and this records where the vendors disagree.

Only these ten have profiles — for any other market code, search_sources with a market filter is what exists.

A routing map rather than a synthesis: it names arguments and points at where they are happening, and takes no position on any of them. This is the fastest-decaying data here — every row is dated, and anything older than about six months needs a refresh.

Search 873 curated sources on the video games industry: press outlets, trade associations, datasets, analysts, podcasts, books, YouTube channels and communities across 26 markets.… Search 873 curated sources on the video games industry: press outlets, trade associations, datasets, analysts, podcasts, books, YouTube channels and communities across 26 markets. Every one was opened and read before it was described, and each result says what it lets you find out, who owns it and what it costs. This answers "where would I look for this?" — it is a directory of sources, not a source of facts, and nothing in it is ranked or scored.
