We all know that the PC gaming industry is full of women developers as well as men but for some reason it's always something special when a development team focuses on their female members. Such is the case for the Battlefield Heroes team at Digital Illusions as their web site has posted up some Q&As with three members of their staff.One of them is Bernadet Bomoni (pictured here) who serves as the team's Business Development Manager. Her job? " I work mostly on partnerships with other companies trying to promote Heroes the best way possible." One of the other ladies on the team with an interview is Service Operations Manager Tina Wellner. The third and finale female team member who gets some quotes is Åsa Carlsson, the Development Director on the team.
If you are expecting some kind of Playboy letter-style chat you will be disappointed but the three team members go talk about their work and their opinions on women in the game industry. When asked if they have had any dealings with sexism in the workplace, Bernadet states, " I have never experienced anything in this field. The people here are not a bunch of kids and they know what is appropriate and what is not."


This is not news, I mean where is the five monitor setup running Halo 3, two different Guitar Heros, and Gears Of War while she is pictured half naked in heels playing them all with a Rock Band controller?

In all seriousness, this is a good thing. It is good to see normal females in the game industry describe what they do.
