    Women In Gaming: Jenn Tsao Leaves 1up.com joins Sega

    I Tried To Post One With Her Son, But Flickr Didn't Let Me...

    If you have been reading the message boards of 1up.com and NeoGAF then you wouldn't know how valuable a figure Jennifer Tsao really was at 1up.com. From the responses I've been seeing [in regards to the negative] most people merely saw her as a casual gaming mom who may not have had the background to be reviewing hardcore games. Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is Tsao was a huge MMO/RPG nerd who did and still does host LAN parties. What's more important, is that when I was reading EGM & 1up in 2002-03 she was able to question the gaming industry as far as: how women are portrayed, how to include those that may be intimidated by the culture as well as how to have a hardcore gamer play something [good] that isn't a part of the norm.

    Jenn's last day was Oct. 31st and she bid everyone a fond farewell on a podcast she helped build and develop. She's leaving game journalism and heading over to the production side, where she will be working at Sega as Associate Creative Director for Family/Casual games. If you've been following Jenn's work for the past six years at 1up, then you know this is kind of a no-brainer opportunity. Just can't help but think how big of a loss this is for 1up.com what with the most recent departures of Jeff and Shawn.
