"It's extraordinarily hard to exist as a woman" – Jessica Curry calls out systemic issues in the games industry

"It's extraordinarily hard to exist as a woman" – Jessica Curry calls out systemic issues in the games industry The co-founder of The Chinese Room adds that talking about these problems can "make myself and other women less employable" "The games industry has been the best and the worst of times for me," said Jessica Curry in an interview with Radio 4's Woman's Hour on January 28. "It's extraordinarily hard to exist as a woman, it kind of broke me in many ways." Curry, who co-founded The Chinese Room in Brighton alongside Dan Pinchbeck, composed the music for almost all of the studio's games. In 2015, Curry became the first solo woman to receive the British Academy Games Award for Music, which she won for her soundtrack to Everybody's Gone to the Rapture (pictured above). The concert will feature music from games like Assassin's Creed, Baldur's Gate 3, and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, all performed by a 65-piece orchestra.
