I kinda agree with you on the whole “You’re either talented or not” thing.
However, I don’t agree with her saying the industry “needs” women to change. Men have been running it for decades and innovating just fine, if women want to join in, by all means join, but don’t make it sound like women are “saving” games.

Like, take Amy Henning, she made an awesome series (Uncharted) and didn’t go “It’s great because a woman did it”
Overall, there are talented men and women and there are untalented men and women.Period.

My only problem is that I think we shouldn’t dissect gender in this arbitrary way and should just think of people as either gifted or not, REGARDLESS of gender. Perhaps it needed to be said … I don’t know. I think it would be best served just to hire more females and not become an excuse for more sexist discussions, which this inevitably will.
