As International Women's Day approaches, we at Cloud Imperium Games are proud to shine a spotlight on the incredible women shaping the gaming industry. From our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to our collaborative teams, we're dedicated to championing diversity and inclusivity. Through ARK, our Thrive platform, we empower our teams with resources, events, and valuable insights, driving positive change in the gaming landscape. It's about fostering a culture where every voice is heard and every talent is valued. As a father of two amazing girls, this cause is deeply personal to me. I want them to see that the gaming industry welcomes them not just after they finish their education, but right from the start. It's about creating opportunities at the grassroots level and inspiring the next generation of female gamers and industry leaders. Did you know that women make up 48% of players worldwide, yet only 30% currently work in games? While this marks an 8% rise since 2014, there's still much more work to be done. Let's do our part to make a difference. #WomenInGames #InternationalWomensDay #DiversityInGaming #GamingIndustry #Empowerment

Celebrating Women's Impact in Gaming 🎮💫 In an industry once overshadowed by skepticism, women are now driving significant change. Title: Celebrating Women's Power in the Gaming Industry In an industry where female influence is often overlooked, the statistics speak volumes. According to the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) survey up to 2021, women accounted for only 30% of the workforce, a stark comparison to 11.5%, 22%, and 24% in 2009, 2014, and 2017 respectively. Yet, women are undeniably a driving force in consumer power. With over half of the 1 billion global mobile gaming users being women, and 17% of them identified as "cloud gamers" - individuals with a preference for high-quality games and substantial purchasing power. I vividly remember the initial doubts from my family when I expressed my desire to pursue a career in gaming. Despite their skepticism, I am resolute in my dedication to this industry, where my passion truly thrives. It's important to acknowledge that women are equally capable as men, and in today's progressive society, one's worth is not solely determined by physical labor. The perseverance and resilience exhibited by women hold immense potential for long-lasting success in this field. Let's celebrate the achievements of women in gaming and look forward to encountering more trailblazers who share our unwavering commitment. #WomenInGaming #Empowerment #Diversity
