I feel like people tend to assume the video game industry has always traditionally been a "boys club" but honestly I'm constantly shocked by how many heavy hitters in the industry I find out are women. I feel like people tend to just assume everything was done by men, but that's what I'm curious about. How aware are all of you when it comes to the brilliant women in game developement? Sorry if it's a vague topic but I wanna see where it goes :p

When I find out a game I loved was made by a woman, I delete it off my console. I'm not letting that shit sissify me.

I'm the other way around. I dont play crap made by guys. Dont want anyone thinking I'm gay or something.

Thief 1& 2 had Terri Brosius, an excellent designer for Looking Glass Studios and this was late 90s. I always thought that was cool.

Yeah PC games in the 80s and 90s I've noticed a huge chunk of them were developed by women or had women involved.

I mean one of my favorite series, Legacy of Kain, was heavily developed by Amy Hennig. She wrote and directed most of the games.

Not going to lie, I didn't know that one of the creators of Legacy of Kain was a woman. Badass.
