Swen Vincke predicted the future in his speech at The Game Awards 2024:
-"Change is coming."
-"GOTY 2025 will be made by a studio who made their game becuase they wanted to make a game that they wanted to play themselves."
-"They didn't make it to increase market share."
-"They didn't make it to serve as a brand."
-"The didn't have to meet arbitrary sales targets or fear being laid off if they didn't meet those targets."
-"They didn't treat their developers like numbers on a spreadsheet."
-"They didn't treat their players as users to exploit and they didn't make decisions they knew were shortsighted in function of a bonus or politics."
-"They knew if you put the game and the team first the revenue will follow."
-"They were driven by idealism and wanted players to have fun, and they realized that if the developers didn't have fun, nobody was going to have any fun."
-"They cared about their game because they loved games."
-"It's really that simple."
