Inequity and Diversity in the Game Dev Sector

Thumpah writes "J, the Damned Vulpine, has just posted a report on the inequality panel from the latest meeting of the Austin Game Developers group. The panel consisted of Sheri Graner Ray of Sony Online Entertainment's Austin studio, Ellen Hobbs of Amaze, Chris Smith of Lois Earl Entertainment, Denise Fulton of Midway Austin, Matt Crump of Amaze, Suzanne Freyjadis-Chuberka of the Women's Game Conference, and Susan O'Conner (a freelance game author) to moderate the panel. He ties the discussion in with the recent IDGA Game Developer Demographics Report."

"Inequity and Diversity in the Game Dev Sector"

Whoa... read that as "Iniquity and Diversity..."

Turns out they're just white males with a high incidence of mental illness (no surprise, considering what they go through on a regular basis).
