Games developers often refer to games they’ve worked on as their babies. For Jo Haslam, game design director at Snap Finger Click, that is more literal than for most.
Haslam’s experience highlights the relentlessness of games development, but by her own admission, she’s one of the luckier ones. “I work for a smaller studio in a senior role,” she said. “I’ve been able to have a say in our working practices.”Others are not so fortunate, detailing instances inside game development that show the industry is awkwardly grappling with issues around pregnancy and maternity.
Even in her executive-level position, Christin felt pressure to constantly work. “I tried my best to keep myself out of work, but failed too often, and the stress had nefarious effects on my breast-feeding supply,” she said. “I went back to work after only two months, pumping three times a day in a small closet at the office — a luxury for most lactating mothers — while answering emails on my phone.
Several of those interviewed pointed to crunch as the industry’s biggest negative, and a big obstacle for women.“I would hesitate to take a job that requires long, sustained periods of crunch,” said Desiree Cifre, a writer and narrative designer. “At my first job in the industry, crunch was expected. I was young and single at the time, so it didn’t affect my personal life, but I saw the effects it had on some of my co-workers.
Oh please...
Omg how can women expect parity if they whine about every little thing. Buck up girls. Family or career.

Women don't belong in game development, this is not a profession suitable for women, like mining and construction.
