What does it say that about 5% of the folks building the products, at least here, are women?



It says 95% of us have to make sure we seek out and pay attention to user feedback from females.

For a long time my wife wouldn't use ourdoings.com because it's always easier to just get me to put our photos up. But now that we have a wifi photo frame, she's become active so she can tweak which photos go to the frame and which don't. I have other female users, but this is the best feedback loop I've got.


That hasn't stopped the lingerie industry, has it? I don't think we'll ever see a swing towards more women implementing games. We have, however, seen lots of women making it in game design recently.


I think it says that there is a large, underserved market waiting to be tapped.


I don't think you intended for that comment to make me laugh so hard, but good job either way.
