As International Women's Day approaches, we at Cloud Imperium Games are proud to shine a spotlight on the incredible women shaping the gaming industry. From our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to our collaborative teams, we're dedicated to championing diversity and inclusivity. Through ARK, our Thrive platform, we empower our teams with resources, events, and valuable insights, driving positive change in the gaming landscape. It's about fostering a culture where every voice is heard and every talent is valued. As a father of two amazing girls, this cause is deeply personal to me. I want them to see that the gaming industry welcomes them not just after they finish their education, but right from the start. It's about creating opportunities at the grassroots level and inspiring the next generation of female gamers and industry leaders. Did you know that women make up 48% of players worldwide, yet only 30% currently work in games? While this marks an 8% rise since 2014, there's still much more work to be done. Let's do our part to make a difference. #WomenInGames #InternationalWomensDay #DiversityInGaming #GamingIndustry #Empowerment

🎮 Celebrating Women's Impact in Gaming! 🎉 From developers to players, women have been shaping the gaming industry in remarkable ways. While historically male-dominated, the landscape is shifting, paving the way for inclusivity and equality. 💪 In the corporate world, trailblazers like Jade Raymond and Amy Hennig have led the charge, breaking barriers and creating iconic games that resonate with diverse audiences. Their achievements inspire countless women in gaming today. 👩💼 Female gamers are on the rise, comprising 48% of the gaming population and breaking stereotypes about who plays video games. Their preferences span genres from puzzle to simulation, and they're making their mark in competitive gaming too! 🕹️💼 Despite challenges like the Gamergate controversy and pay disparities, progress is evident. Initiatives like Intel's investment in diversity and in-game strategies combatting bias show a commitment to change. 💼💡 Support groups like Women In Games International provide a vital network for women in gaming, fostering community and empowerment. Together, we're creating a more inclusive gaming culture. 👩💻💬 Let's celebrate the achievements of women in gaming and continue striving for a future where everyone feels welcome and valued. 🌟 #WomenInGaming #GamingEquality #InclusionMatters #Inspiration #GamerCommunity 🌈

Last week, in honour of International Women’s Day, I had the privilege of participating in a panel discussion titled “Demystifying Women in Gaming”. During the session, we explored a range of critical topics related to women’s experiences in the gaming industry: Representation and Visibility: We emphasised the importance of authentic representation for women, both within games themselves and among industry professionals. We recognise women are becoming more prominent in the gaming landscape. Role Models and Inspirations: We highlighted the significance of role models. Successful women in the games industry serve as beacons of inspiration, paving the way for future generations. So much so, my children want to work in the industry now! Gender Disparity: We addressed the existing gender disparities within game development roles. From programming to leadership positions, we acknowledged the challenges faced by women and advocated for equity. Inclusive Game Design: The panel delved into the realm of game design. We explored strategies for creating inclusive games that resonate with diverse audiences, avoiding harmful stereotypes, and fostering a sense of belonging. Work-Life Balance: Balancing work and personal life is crucial. We shared insights on maintaining well-being while navigating the demands of the industry. Working during covid with 2 small children at home was tough, but I was lucky to have the full support of Microsoft and my incredible manager. Career Paths: Our conversation touched upon various career paths available in gaming, and how we all got our roles. I started out wanting to be a bumble bee, got a criminology degree and now I work for Xbox. From design to production, marketing, and beyond, we celebrated the multifaceted roles women play. Advocacy and Support: We acknowledged the importance of advocacy groups, mentorship programs, and supportive networks. We want to empower women and promote positive change. If you want to know more, please reach out to me. As someone fortunate to have worked in this industry for 10 years, I am continually inspired by the remarkable women around me. Equally important are the men who champion our cause and actively contribute to a more inclusive and vibrant gaming community. 🎮🌟 #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInGaming #Gaming #Empowerment #WomenOfXbox #Xbox

Apparently, Women's Month is over, however, let’s support women not just one month a year but all year long. My special shout-out goes to my wonderful colleague Diana Petru for her endless support and encouragement, not only when it came to the creation of the great Women’s Day video. 🌷 For all the women out there working as managers, and leaders let’s share your knowledge, and best practices and support other women in gaming to keep leveling up. Let’s make the sisterhood in our industry strong and unique compared to other ones. 💫💫 #wargaming #worldofwarships #womeningaming #gamingindustry
