It’ll be interesting to see how this is reflected in hiring - I notice more women applying for games jobs and not getting them, as the men doing the hiring are seeking people like themselves - i.e. other guys. I also wonder if this small sample size represents the gender balance in academic programs more broadly - I rather suspect it doesn’t, at least on the undergrad level, as grad students represent a) people who sought more education because they couldn’t find employment and/or b) were just interested in the academic issues, something that doesn’t get a lot of respect in the game industry, in my experience.
I’ve been wondering that myself. I wasn’t sure if it disappeared or if, with the current site design, they were getting pushed off the front page (or two) within a couple hours of posting, something that seems to happen now.
