With all the talk about sexual harassment and gender issues at gaming companies, what are some of the best gaming companies for a woman who's a software dev? Or is it better to not even fuck with that?
None of them. Gamers and gaming culture are toxic.
Blizzard feels pretty good. There’s a women’s council, women’s summit and the CEO has goals to increase how many women are at the studio. Also a lot of women on game dev teams who have been here 10+ years.
Yep at King (also a great company for women) we sync up with people from Blizzard fairly often and it seems like a good place to work as a woman.
Niantic is EXCELLENT
Roblox for sure.
Casino gaming is super corporate and takes it seriously. I haven’t seen any issues in my studio at IGT... most of the Devs are men... most of our QA are women...
I can say that I have been impressed with how Nintendo handles things. But our game dev in the US is pretty limited.
Given the media attention, things are a lot better at Riot now than any other studio I've been part of.
LOL, it's Nintendo. By a country mile.
I think you should look it from a team perspective. Every company has some bad apples

It's bad everywhere. Your best bet may be at MSFT, but Xbox et al still had bro-itis last I heard. But I did hear it was getting better.
XBOX, it still has a very long way to go. But MSFT does take it seriously. XBOX does have an innovation problem on the software side. People sit on those jobs for years. They need fresh 🥩
