GDC 2013 managed to be both an event of inspiration and controversy at the same time. During this year’s event, a panel discussion made up of several women of the gaming industry tackled a number of controversial topics such as sexism, working as a female in the industry, working for a broader inclusion in the industry and more. The talk was well-received by the audience and ended with a standing ovation for the speakers.

If you followed the events of that same week, you may also know about the controversy surrounding the International Game Developer Association's (IGDA) co-sponsored party with YetiZen, which led to the resignation of several IGDA members.

Thanks to GDC Vault, the full #1ReasontoBe panel discussion is now available for your viewing pleasure.
