Please don't go to GDC. They charge a lot of money when the main benefit is socializing outside the conference and add to that the danger of traveling to the U.S and GDC must end. I have a lot of problems with GDC and how they con attendees and speakers with "it's good for your career" bullshit. I haven't gone in years and won't in the future.

@grumpygamer I understand what you’re saying and I don’t disagree. But I have worked GDC at the PlayStation booth. I can say firsthand that a big benefit for them was meeting talent, bringing them into a demo area and having real talks about publishing, showcasing the (yet unannounced) tech, etc.
Call me out for equivocating, but the story is more complex than “GDC is a con”.

@grumpygamer I was a volunteer at the conference for years, and even with the amazing connections it helped me make, I honestly agree, esp for devs outside the US. Don't risk it. Hell, even US citizens have cause to be nervous.
I do miss going, but yeah it was usually more about the socializing than whatever insane tech Naughty Dog farted out this past year (no shade at them but damn they gave a lot of talks).

All of that can happen (and happens) outside GDC too. If a golden era existed it's gone. And now that a lot of people is banned from going to the US safely I'd say the theoretical benefit diminishes a lot.
Good for Ron to call it out loud.
Also it seems USA needs some time to solve it's internal issues and remove pedos from power right now. If they ever become an open welcoming country again it would be nice.

@grumpygamer You're also pretty much guaranteed to catch COVID.

@grumpygamer If it's anything like CES this year, it won't even be worth watching the talks.

@grumpygamer Are there any global conferences that you have enjoyed and/or would recommend?

@grumpygamer you also have to go to the US if international, which is a crazy risk for many now.

@olympic ...gettato da agenti gladio dalla finestra del quarto piano dell’ufficio del commissario luigi calabresi ma non da Luigi calabresi... Le inchieste giudiziarie hanno accertato che Luigi Calabresi non era presente nella stanza al quarto piano della questura di Milano nel momento in cui Giuseppe Pinelli è stato precipitato.
Anche tutto ciò che è dedicato a Cadorna si riferisca al partigiano Cadorna e non al sanguinario generale...un vannascio...

@signorina37 #marasma per rispondere ad esigenze di indotto e profitto: ottimizzazioni fini, sempre più fini... che creano rumore di fondo. C'è chi si accorge di queste evidenze, in molti le subiscono passivamente. Altro che scimmiette ammaestrate, è guerra cognitiva in costante escalation. #CognitiveWar
