Gaming has evolved from a niche hobby into a global cultural phenomenon, yet the stories of the women
driving this evolution often remain untold. At We Are Video
Games, our mission is to correct this imbalance by championing the women who play, create,
and lead. We believe that true representation goes beyond surface-level statistics; it requires
highlighting the diverse voices that are reshaping narratives, designing innovative mechanics, and
building inclusive communities. By amplifying these contributions, we aim to dismantle outdated
stereotypes and foster an environment where talent is recognized regardless of gender.
Our approach is grounded in rigorous, data-driven journalism. We move beyond anecdotal evidence to
present a clear, factual picture of the industry. From analyzing the persistent wage gap and tracking
leadership representation to understanding the shifting genre preferences of female players, we provide
the insights necessary for meaningful change. We curate verified research from trusted global bodies,
ensuring that our index serves as a reliable resource for developers, journalists, and policymakers who
are committed to building a more equitable future for gaming.
Ultimately, this platform is a call to action for the entire ecosystem. Whether you are a studio head
looking to diversify your team, a developer seeking inspiration, or a player looking for a community
that values your presence, this is your home. We are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is
possible in gaming by ensuring that women are not just participants but architects of the medium's
future. Together, through transparency, advocacy, and celebration, we can create an industry that truly
reflects the diversity of its audience.
