There’s a transcript of the whole panel in the article, but I just read the summary by the panel moderator at the top of the article.

It seemed super detached from where I see the gaming landscape. Doug Bowser says indie and double-AA titles should use AI as a way to bridge the gap between them and the big players. Yuck.

And the Sony chair buzzed about how good GTA6 would be for the industry. That doesn’t match the “not taking risks” summary storyline. I stopped reading after that.

    Isn't it funny how people like this suddenly gain convictions the very moment they're no longer in a position to change things?

    Happens with Republican politicians constantly.

    I'd say gamings biggest problem is scumbags in suits.

    The games I like and are popular tend to be fruits of passion, sometimes obsession. And in most postmortem talks I watched the main creator went "I thought this would be fun, so I wanted to make a game of it" or "I liked X so I wanted to play a game with it."

    In most cases it is a kind of egoistic artistic pursuit that stops at nothing until they can realize their game.

    I've never heard anyone mentioning "engagement" or "AAA" or any of that MBA fluff they blabb during game presentations.
