Improving the representation of women in the video game industry at all levels will be one of the discussions on diversity taking place this week at the 38th edition of the Game Developers Conference at San Francisco's Moscone Center. Men make up a large majority of developers according to some estimates, but those in key roles around the world say they're seeing progress and finding more ways to increase participation among women.
Bee says that the number of men in the industry only increases outside the U.S. and among leadership roles, women are just 3-5% of those positions. But she sees growth in the time she has worked in gaming and believes it is getting better, not just in terms of the jobs but also of the content.'We used to have like very little representation and sometimes it was over-sexualized or it was made like to be in the male gaze, instead of something that actually represents us,' Bee said.
