As a reminder, this isn’t a scientific research project meant to stand up to any intense critical analysis – I’m simply checking out the number of companies in each city on www.gamedevmap.com.  Last time, I just clicked on each city and looked at the total number of entries.  Each city seems to have several dead links or are missing a studio, so I’m doing a little internet digging of my own to figure out the city company count.  It’s tough to be totally accurate, but I’m trying to get a little closer.  Remember – each city includes surrounding suburbs.  I’ve also decided to do the top 22 cities (thanks to a tie for 20th) this time, just because I feel like it. 

Here’s the list:

20.  Pittsburgh – 6
