In an interview with CBS News' 60 Minutes, Microsoft's head of 343 Industries, Halo's Bonnie Ross, talked about the challenges of gender equality in the games industry and solutions to bring more women on board in development.
"Boys and men, the numbers are moving up. We are getting a lot more into computer science. But with women and girls, it's going down," Ross said. "In many times there's not even a way where I could bring a woman into a specific job because the candidates are just not there."
Ross went on to explain that for any female interns they have, when offered a full time job at Microsoft, the women already have offers from five to seven top tech companies.
