Serious gamers are male. Females who compete at all (at non physical computer games) are so rare we have to highlight the 3 world-wide who accomplish anything of note and fluff those numbers with pretenders.
This is a problem for our 'industry' because I consider 'equality' divine, but only measure it strictly by outcome.
No one cares what a fat old white cunt has to say. Ever. That's why they disappear after the age of fuckability.

Opinion discarded
It's definitely a bad heading for a story, even one in the opinion column. "Everyone hates games and we don’t care (but we should)"
She went on to say almost everyone plays games, so if almost everyone does play games, where does the hate come from.
The person that wrote that, Gina Jackson, has been working on games since the SNES days. For Nokia, Eidos, Kuju and Ocean Software.
So she should at least know her stuff.
But reading some other parts of that, she's definitely drank the kool aid since the good old days, and now pushes diversity in the workplace.
What did she do for those companies?
A bunch of dev credits, and some other credits.

It appears she is an accountant with a business management degree.
So tired of people who still push the evils of gaming nonsense. Like anything else enjoy responsibly
We need to start pushing the evils of excessive cat ownership
Amen to that
"Even The Guardian, who is in my opinion the gold standard of games journalism"
just.. wow
