Women-in-Games Online Auction

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

The Women in Games International (WIGI) “Celebrity eBay Auction” has started. The auction includes lots of games and game-related books and merchandise, many of the items signed by the developers. Proceeds go to support Women in Games International.

Like many math and science-related fields, only 3% of engineers \ programmers in the game industry are female. Women in Games International’s goal is to help encourage more women to enter the industry.

A couple of interesting items from the list:

  • Lincoln Revolution poster signed by Sid Meier
  • 3 music CDs signed by The Fat Man
  • Electronic arts watch
  • BioShock Strategy Guide signed by Ken Levine
