GDC always has a way of revealing where the industry’s mindset is. Sometimes on the show floor, often in the talks, ALWAYS at the surrounding meet-ups and gatherings. After dozens of conversations this week, one theme kept surfacing: the margin for error has gotten much smaller.

#gdc #gamelaunches

Execution without validation is expensive.

The margin for error is thinner than it’s been in years.

Heading into GDC looking for the teams that understand the shift.

#gamelaunches

This is the shift I keep hearing across the games industry.

Belief and momentum aren’t enough anymore.

Evidence has to come first.

Looking forward to the discussions at GDC next week.
