" summary

Women make 46% of gamers but only 16% of executives (23 of 144) in top studios, and diverse companies show measurable gains: Glassdoor reports 67% of candidates prefer diverse workplaces while Harvard Business Review links inclusion to 2.3x higher cash flow and greater market capture. Women in Games International pivots from in‑person parties to a virtual DLC "drinks learning and community" series, offers 30-day micro-mentorship and resume workshops, builds a scholarship covering flight hotel food per diem and chapter-in-a-box to increase access and retention.
