Despite the industry putting its "best" foot forward after GamerGate, we still cannot seem to see women in this industry. What needs to change? In this roundtable, join Bad Robot Games' Anna Sweet to discuss how we can uplift and empower women in the games industry and reflect on the challenges women continue to face as well as some success stories.
