The 100 Most Influential Women in Gaming

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the clearing-things-up dept.

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.'"

  1. Roberta Williams? by El_Muerte_TDS · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And besides that, wtf would influential in gaming mean? Every part considering gaming? In that case Hillary Cliton should also be on that list.

      The omission of Roberta Williams is ridiculous. She is one of the most influential people in the history of games, never mind video games, never mind women.

    Click print to view them all in one page. But seriously, where's Roberta Williams? Sure she's been retired from gaming for a few years, but she paved the way for women in the industry.
