The "Women in Gaming" Thread

[Mecron]

Yeah you see what I liked most about the article is that it was NOT you and me looking back...it was the actual women involved. I think the conversation needs more of this in general.

A loud acknowledgment of IWD! And a acknowledgment of how nothing kerberos has achieved would have been the same or even possible without our own resident genius, Arinn Dembo!

[Slashman]

I will drink to that!

Anyone heard what has happened over at Kotaku and Riot Games?

[Mecron]

Thanks for posting that. Couldn't shake the creepy feeling while I was reading it that somewhere a GG twit was reading it too while touching himself in glee.


I am so bloody tired of wannabe frat boys managing this industry.

[Slashman]

I don't play LoL but I have a female friend that does I wonder if she realizes she is supporting this kind of management structure.

[Mecron]

it is very hard to reconcile the games we like mostly with the frat twats who manage production,

[Slashman]

Its true...but I'd still think she wants to know about it because it doesn't seem like its getting as much airtime as it should.

Is Dota 2 any better?

[Mecron]

In general most of the big companies are still shit shows for women.

This story here recently shows a side that runs from the problem.
