What's going on with the game industry this year?

At GDC 2017, EEDAR co-founder and Experiment 7 creative director Geoffrey Zatkin hopped onstage to try and shed some light on that topic by presenting a "tour de force romp" through a smorgasbord of game industry data.

It was a bit of interesting perspective for game devs because Zatkin tried to highlight notable trends in the market, covering everything from VR/AR to next generation consoles, mobile games, eSports, the diversification of monetization methodologies and everything in-between.

It was an intriguing presentation that was chock full of market data, so if that's what you're into (or even if you just want to get a quick overview of Where We're At in 2017) make sure to take advantage of the fact that you can now watch Zatkin's talk for free via the GDC YouTube channel!
