MTV Multiplayer's Tracey John, who has excellent taste in cocktails, continues her series of interviews with women in the gaming industry today, speaking with Assassin's Creed animation project manager Elspeth Tory on the challenges women face in the gaming industry. Along with commenting on the whole Jade situation and the challenges faced by being a female in a male-dominated industry, Elspeth explains that proving yourself capable is no longer a factor.
