Imagine it's again 2010s. You are a small game studio and just shipped your first product that has become a massive hit. As you grow, extending your player base and adding next AAA games to your portfolio, you're still using the same off-the-shelf chat solution.How did it scale? What had to be changed? And why in 2024 you're still writing in Erlang?This became my story two years ago when my team took over the development. I'll tell you what we managed to uncover and where we're heading.
Keynote 3: We thought we were bulletproof
(Piotr Gamracy - CEO of Vivid Games, Angel Investor, Advisor)
The game industry experienced an unprecedented boom, accelerated by the pandemic, fostering a sense of invincibility among its stakeholders. The surge in demand for digital entertainment led many to believe that we were immune to crises, a belief reinforced by soaring investments and relentless growth. However, the years 2021 to 2023 served as a stark reminder that we are inextricably linked to the global economy. Several "bullets" were fired our way, revealing vulnerabilities we failed to anticipate and avoid. This keynote will explore the factors that contributed to our sense of invulnerability, the economic realities that shattered this illusion, and the lessons we must learn to fortify our industry for the future.
