Gaming is having a Nobel Prize in STEM moment here.

EDIT: Somebody who owns the magazine has assured me that there is a misconception: The magazine does not focus on game designers and creators, rather than PC Gamer’s own staff. That the staff was exclusively male in the past is certainly an issue, but it is a separate issue from the exclusion of women in the gaming industry.

      Yeah, 100%.

      Somebody over on sh.itjust.works pointed out that one of PCGamer’s (male) writers even had published a book about women in the gaming industry. “”“Somehow”“” the editors of PCGamer did not only manage to ignore all the notable women in the industry, but also their own writers writing about them. Quite the “”“achievement”“”.
