The comments section of this post is depressing.
The men posing awful comments don’t realise that what they are saying is the very reason girls do not feel welcome to pursue careers in games.
Initiatives like this are important to overcome that. The games industry is so difficult to navigate, but a lot of women developers do succeed.
