According to foreign media, the research published by the International Game Developer Association last year showed that only 22%of practitioners in the game industry are women.The Entertainment Software Association said that the number of female players is almost the same as that of men.According to the British "Financial Times" website reported on June 8, this difference can be attributed to a series of factors: girls are not encouraged to invest in video games, and the number of young women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics is notMany, and gender discrimination.Last year, the Gamergate dispute highlighted this problem. In this incident, female game developers were harassed online for public against gender discrimination in the game.

There are some initiatives in the industry to encourage more women to join the game industry.In the UK, Women in Games Wigj is launching a counseling program with game developers such as King, Sony, and Microsoft.

Game writer Leana Pratechetc has been playing games since he was 6 years old.She entered the game writing industry through the game news industry (initially writing a review for the young women's magazine "MINX").

She said that the "difficulty" of working in the gaming industry is not gender, but "because the game is not specifically dominated by stories because traditionally."

She said this situation is changing.She believes that the diversity of practitioners will eventually bring greater creativity.

Pratechet is more willing to focus on positive aspects."When showing opportunities to young women, it is necessary to explain to them what it can be realized and worthy of paying."

Gaming developer Media Molecule co -founder and studio head of the studio Swoven Reydi said that the game industry reflects the entire society.She said that her experience in this industry was "basically positive.""I don't think the gender discrimination I have suffered in the game studio is more serious than the outside ... I blame the gender discrimination I have suffered on the whole world, not the game industry."

Female mentors help women overcome their anxiety that belongs to a minority group."The way to change this situation is not to be afraid to be the only woman in the house."

The president and chief financial officer of the gaming company Mind Candy, Tiffinianors, said that after ending her career and antique industry, she jumped to the Mind Candy (the developer of the game "Moshi Monster") was "impact".Essence"This is an industry with a deep degree of mastering men. Many times I am the only woman in the room. At the board level, there are very few women. At Mind Candy and even the entire industry, there are very few women with senior women."

Software engineer of German game developer WOOGA, Sherlock Fabeck, said that he does not want to work in a more traditional game group because there are too many stereotypes in that place."From a cultural perspective, the themes of fighting, saving the world are too far from the topic and creativity I am interested in."

The studio manager of the game company thatgamecomPany, Soni Pavlovitz, said that as a woman, it means a minority group."I think I can look at this problem from two directions: it can be regarded as a disadvantage or wealth."

She chose to treat this as wealth.Joining a small but growing company allows her to help shape the company's culture.She said that not everyone regards free bar as employee benefits.

She said that in the past, the game industry did not do well in "welcome women to join".She mentioned that in the past, the exposed female models stood in front of the exhibitor's booth."Now you rarely see this scene again."
