I know a couple, one of which I used to work with. They are both at social gaming studios now. I wonder if the ratio is better in the social realm?

I can name two off the top of my head: Sophie Houlden and Erin Robinson.

There are a lot less female game developers than male, but they are definitely out there.

Brenda Brathwaite is one of the most important female game designers.

Cool, I didn't know that about Centipede. 

Also, I didn't know bentosmile was female.  I guess on forums I always assume everyone is male unless explicitly noted through posts or avatars.  Can't really fault me there statistically haha.  That and I thought she was a cat this whole time.

There are a few, but at least half of them were born male. Don't know if that makes a difference.

There are a few, but I'm a fucking misogynist idiot that no girls want to talk to. Don't know if that makes a difference.
