This study proposes reformulating the auteur category to empower non-Western and non-heteronormative female developers. The auteur concept, currently seen as serving Western, white, heterosexual male interests, can be pivotal in subjectifying diverse developers and teams.\u003cbr\u003eThrough examining works of Muriel Tramis, Elizabeth LaPensée, Christine Love, and Meg Jayanth, this research illustrates benefits of designating these individuals as female auteurs. Using an intersectional framework, the author argues that the auteur category is crucial for protecting rights of women and sexual minorities in gaming. These developers represent their communities, regardless of their specific roles. The study posits that integrating digital games and auteur theory can benefit underrepresented groups. It contributes to discussions on authorship in digital media, diversity in game development, and the intersection of identity and creative expression in gaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Filip Jankowski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8323354766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788323354765\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jagiellonian University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Filip Jankowski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962735939839,"sku":"9788323354765","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9427a5d1-92ce-4bf6-8e62-b86f9ec3c763.jpg?v=1750652373","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/digital-games-and-the-category-filip-jankowski-9788323354765","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
