Morgan Webb on Girls in Gaming | Morgan Webb Talks about How She Ended up Where She Is

There’s an interesting post over on MTV Multiplayer about Morgan Webb and her take on girls and their role in the video game industry.

She gets into how it is being one of the most noticeable faces of female gamers. (Many times during the interview, she states that she’s not the only female who plays games, she’s just one of the most visible because she has a TV show.)

Mostly, this interview focuses on the microcosm of female video game players, both inside and outside of the industry. This interview provides an interesting insight into one of the women who is at the forefront of the charge into a male-dominated profession. Though, as she tells it, it’s more happenstance than cunning, guile and scheming (I could easily imagine industry vets thinking that the way that women get in) that got her where she is today.

In fact, where she got her start, at the now defunct TechTV (I loved that station), she describes how she got her position, “I needed a job and so I go a job at TechTV.” As they like to say at Staples, “That was easy.”

It’s definitely a fun read and worth your time if you have it. Read the post.
