The Video Games Industry: Opportunities, Risks, and Future Outlook

Student Games Festival 2025 | Discussion panel The Video Games Industry: Opportunities, Risks, and Future Outlook Moderator: Szymon Makuch, PhD (Akademia Górniczo-Hutnicza w Krakowie) Panelists: Pavel Barak (GDACZ), Ričardas Jaščemskas (EGDF, LGDA), Maroš Brojo (SGDA), Nenad Jovanovski (SGA), Aleksy Uchański (Rejected Games, Crazy Rocks) The games industry is undergoing its most severe crisis since the 1983 “Atari shock”. Competition on digital distribution platforms is fiercer than ever, while production and marketing costs continue to skyrocket, meanwhile mass layoffs, studio closures, and cancelled projects have become a daily reality. Poland and other Central and Eastern European countries face a particular challenge: until recently, their industries competed globally while benefiting from comparatively lower domestic labor costs. This debate assessed these and other challenges shaping the future of game development. ______________________ Organizer: Kultura Interaktywna Foundation Ewa Maria Szczepanowska & Paweł Miechowski Opening Sequence Tomasz Ślesicki Visual Identity Dorota Piskor Camera & Sound Marceli Zielnik Editing Hubert Rudyk ______________________ Project was co-financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage under the Creative Industries Institute’s own programme: Rozwój Sektorów Kreatywnych.
