You cannot deny that finding a woman in the game industry is vastly more difficult than it is to find a man, and this series is recognizing women to inspire other women to enter the field to potentially change that. (You'd be surprised how many people do not enter a particular profession because of gender disparities and stereotypes. It's like the whole male nurse thing that is changing with time).
I am definitely looking forward to the future of this interview! You women are an inspiration for the rest of us, although I'm sure you know that already :).
Similarly to Mark, I am very interested in seeing diversity within the game industry expand, and perhaps, Graill, it is also this diversity that will become necessary in tapping into what an increasingly diverse market is looking for. With my graduation just over a year away, hearing about these women's perspectives on MMO development will greatly help me understand what sort of games I'd like to be creating in the future.
Thanks to Massively and the interview participants for setting this all up!
