Video- Gender in game narrative, and what we lose by ignoring it

"Allowing our industry to continue to be narrow in scope, is economically dumb [and] completely undersells the potential of gaming as a medium."

–Leigh Alexander, in a panel discussion on importance of diversity in gaming at GDC Online 2012. In this free GDC Vault video of the "Writing The Unsung Experiences: Gender In Game Storytelling" panel from GDC Online 2012, critics Leigh Alexander, Mattie Brice, and Jenn Frank share personal experiences and observations regarding the lack of diversity (gender and otherwise) in games. Come from South African Online Casinos
