Is there a crisis in game development?

What the talk is about

A panel moderated by Artur Sheykhaliyev, with speakers from Burny Games, Homa Games and Moonmana, asks whether game development is really in crisis. The participants agree that everyone has felt its effects: the pandemic boom brought excess investment and salary races, followed by a correction. Yet many see the market as healthier now, since investors and publishers are still looking for games, only more selectively. Consoles and PC face different problems, mainly higher budgets and competition, while mobile faces costly marketing. The discussion covers whether players really play less, funding sources (publishers, VCs, grants, crowdfunding, platforms) and combining them, and AI, which speeds up production but adds even more content. Useful for studios and founders looking for money and direction.
