The 100 Most Influential Women in Gaming

Ground Glass writes "Next Generation has posted a list of the 100 most influential women in the games industry. It's an exhaustive and nonsense-free take on a subject particularly important to the male-dominated world of videogames. From the article: 'A gender-inclusive approach to game design and marketing of games may ensure that most, if not all, considerations to producing games for myriad markets are not overlooked. Games are no longer produced for a niche market of players; they are produced for complex, over-lapping layers of demographically, geographically, socially and culturally-influenced consumer groups.'"

Sounds like you meant (but didn't name) Grace Hopper, who (IIRC) was associated with the development of ADA.

I believe you mean Grace Hopper [wikipedia.org].

I agree. They also left out Roberta's co-worker, Jane Jensen [wikipedia.org]. (Writer of the Gabriel Knight series, also worked on King's Quest VI).

I completely agree. She should be first on the list. This list reads like the first 100 female names that came out of employee directory. Who would I list second? Lori Ann Cole [wikipedia.org], also blatantly omitted.
