Why only wives and no husbands? Are we still in the '50s? (I mean the 1950s)

- city41 17y agoPerhaps because that just happens to be the make up of the company? Nothing wrong with female devs, but if Rockstar happens to only have male devs, then yes the wives are going to be the ones complaining.
- chipsy 17y agoGame developers(slightly less so publishers) are almost uniformly male-dominated. Some of it is the internal culture of most companies; some of it is external motivations and expectations that filter out women at an early stage. There are occasional efforts to seek a balance in hiring, but the market really doesn't make it easy.
- jbellis 17y agoWomen aren't dumb enough to work 80 hour week for crap wages because video games are cool.
- pclark 17y agoI found this comment insulting. Why are they dumb for working on something that they love? Just because you (heck, or even the developers wives') can't calibrate the passion for video games doesn't mean no one can.
- petewarden 17y agoThe dumb part isn't working long hours for a job you love. The dumb part is working for terrible wages in awful conditions and letting the value you create be captured by other people.
