Today (June 10), gaming media outlet The Verge noticed that not a single woman appeared on the stage of the 2023 Summer Game Festival that has ended, and many foreign media reporters and Twitter influencers criticized Geoff Keighley, the organizer of the Summer Game Festival, for lacking a focus on inclusivity.
It's disappointing that we still haven't seen more non-white, non-male appearances on stage, and it just shows that the gaming industry still hasn't reached the diversity it deserves.
At the Summer Game Festival showcase, there were more Xbox consoles than women.
Not only does the gaming industry have diversity issues – it's also known for outright misogyny. However, the organizers of the Summer Game Festival didn't even bother to bring a female game developer to the stage.
So many straightforward men, where are the queers? We bring so much fun and charm. And Pride Month, why hasn't anyone been arrested? That's.
In addition, Matt Piscatella, an analyst at Circana (formerly NPD Group), also participated in the discussion. He cited statistics that about half of gamers in the U.S. are women.
Daniel Ahmad, an analyst at Niko Partners, writes that across all gaming platforms, 42.6% of all gamers in Asia are women, however, according to my research, only 0% at the Summer Game Festival.
