The 100 Most Influential Women in Gaming

Ground Glass writes "Next Generation has posted a list of the 100 most influential women in the games industry. It's an exhaustive and nonsense-free take on a subject particularly important to the male-dominated world of videogames. From the article: 'A gender-inclusive approach to game design and marketing of games may ensure that most, if not all, considerations to producing games for myriad markets are not overlooked. Games are no longer produced for a niche market of players; they are produced for complex, over-lapping layers of demographically, geographically, socially and culturally-influenced consumer groups.'"

I, for one, would like to recognize videogame pioneer Wilma Rhomer, who in 1979 became the first woman ever to bitch at her boyfriend for neglecting her for videogames.
