The global gaming industry has made strides, but gender diversity remains challenging. Women make up 30% of the game development workforce despite being nearly 50% of gamers worldwide. This gap highlights the need for change, innovation, and inclusion. Why Women in Games Matter: 1. Diverse teams lead to more inclusive game designs and stories. 2. Increased representation ensures better engagement with a diverse player base. Challenges: 1. Persistent biases in hiring and leadership roles. 2. Limited mentorship and networking opportunities What is being done?  1. Initiatives like Women in Games (WinG) and industry efforts focus on bridging the gap with mentorship programs and advocacy. 2. At IGDC 2024, GDAI’s Women in Games segment highlighted challenges, celebrated success stories, and hosted panels featuring gaming trailblazers. How do you think the industry can better support women in games?
