CRYSTAL DYNAMICS RELEASES INDUSTRY BOOK FOR FREE 100 WOMEN IN GAMING

In celebration of Women’s History Month, Crystal Dynamics announced today that they’ve released the 2018 book Women in Gaming: 100 Professionals of Play for free download.

Authored by Crystal Dynamics Sr. Community & Social Media Manager  Meagan Marie, the book was published by Prima Games shortly before the industry-mainstay closed its doors. Crystal Dynamics purchased the rights to the book with the intent of releasing it online as a free resource for industry hopefuls, and to inspire and encourage young women to set their sights on working in video games.

“It’s with great pleasure that we are releasing the book 'Women in Gaming', written by Crystal Dynamics’ employee Meagan Marie, to the public. We look forward to seeing how it inspires even more women to thrive at making great games throughout the industry. This is more than just a book to us, it’s a personal mission of our company. At Crystal Dynamics we are privileged to have women leaders and directors across the studio from creative development to technical, operational, and financial department roles. 

Many of the women on our team are doing incredible things like leading the production of our games, building our game heroes and enemy characters from the ground up, shaping the vision for our world art, directing our narratives, expanding our brands, planning our studio’s future roadmap and so much more. We are constantly inspired by their contributions and believe that they are essential to making Crystal Dynamics the place for all who love dedicating themselves to making great games with great people.”  

    – Scot Amos & Ron Rosenberg (Co-Heads of Studio, Crystal Dynamics) 

“Meagan Marie’s 'Woman in Gaming' is a smart, deep dive into inclusivity and equality. The topic is not only relevant to me but also to Crystal Dynamics, where these tenets are championed and promoted. These are inspiring stories that every woman in gaming or aspiring to be in games should read.”

    – Dionne Hubbard (Director of Human Resources, Crystal Dynamics)
