GirlHacker's Random Log

Yawn. Can we get a better spin for a Game Developer Conference article than “Attracting more women customers remains a challenge?” I don’t mind the continued insight that women don’t like playing computer games, but until someone thinks of something new, like making radical efforts to hire female game designers, well, this isn’t news to me. And, while I’m carping over this article, it isn’t just game developers conferences that have no lines in the women’s restrooms. It is like that at all “co-ed” software developer conferences. The only time I’ve had to wait in line at a technical conference was at the Women In Technology event. Sometimes I wonder if we need more women in tech jobs just to break the cycle of men hiring men. Let’s fill up those bathrooms! If it means more female-friendly computer games, I’ll happily wait in line.
