From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stevana "Stevie" Case (born September 7, 1976) is a recognized figure from the video game industry. She is noted for being one of the first well-known female gamers. Case has had several roles in the industry, from the first female professional gamer at the Cyberathlete Professional League to level designer to vice president of development.

Case gained repute for defeating John Romero in a Quake deathmatch. She defeated him the first time they met, after being introduced by a mutual friend, Don MacAskill. After that, she was employed at Ion Storm, first as a game tester and then as a level designer. Case moved in with Romero in 1999. That relationship ended in early 2003. Until then, Case was the vice president of Monkeystone Games, a game development company she co-founded with Romero.

Case became known for her looks and penchant for games. She was approached by Playboy to appear in a pictorial based on an interview she did in the Los Angeles Times. She did the photo shoot in early 2000. Images of the photo shoot were released on the Internet, but never made it to the pages of Playboy magazine.

Case nicknamed herself "Killcreek" after the band of the same name from Lawrence, Kansas. Case attended school in Lawrence at the University of Kansas and grew up in Olathe, Kansas.

After leaving Monkeystone Games, Case led product development team for Warner Bros. Online's mobile group. After leaving Warner Bros., she was employed at Tira Wireless in sales/business development. Afterwards she held a position with Spleak Media Network, where she was a director of product management.
