Don Daglow receives the Lifetime Achievement Award #GDC2026
You just missed that Cyan got a shoutout at the awards!
MYST SWEEP #GDC2026
I've actually enjoyed the new energy in Yerba Buena with the concerts and food trucks. But putting barricades up *after* the lunch content has concluded is super weird
Take me down to the Derocity
Where there's EBEs
And the girls are Cookie
[clapping like a seal] #GDC2026
Sorry, people were taking it out of the context of the panel I just didn't want to keep fueling discussion that was missing the rest of the panel. I'll reopen it because I'm glad it was starting conversations!
My identity #GDC2026
Cat was ascared and did not want to stay foreveeerrr

Nope but I think we'll have plenty for the future!
RetrogamingSky in the last week
Most important thing I learned at GDC today: Danielle is awesome
Right? I saw someone say that this was just GOG's audience self-selecting, but it's an interesting and notable outlier from their usual audience!
They received a Cookie pin
Their game is Poco!
This year's IGF student award winners told me they were influenced by Cookie's Bustle. This is why we do it, folks. Holy shit #GDC2026
Reasonable :( I had a Cookie pin to offer!
You here?
O shit it's @aurahack.ca
Yeah in whatever this case was (I assume not NOLF), he said they were able to dig up the contracts, but whoever wrote them made a mistake in the language that accidentally permanently assigned the rights away 😬😬😬
Heads up: Girl Scout cookies currently being sold in Yerba Buena #GDC2026
Interesting observation from Larry Kuperman: The audiences for original re-releases vs. remakes are different! There can be justification for both! (making notes for future copyright advocacy purposes) #GDC2026
The stark contrast between NES/Atari Dads and the hordes of pastel-haired queer kids at every retrogaming convention is always interesting to observe
Extremely happy to see these questions being asked from the *industry* side. This is how we start to build industry-community trust #GDC2026
He also suggested that Heroes III is having a bit of a moment with younger influencers, so that could be part of the surge for that particular game
Garrett: "This is probably the #1 question we get. [...] We have proven over the years that we [the industry] suck at preserving games." The solution: devs/publishers should listen more to what the community is doing! #GDC2026
Internal PlayStation tool called MetaGen for organizing game development artifact metadata, for reference within their studios without having to share 100s of GBs of files. They're exploring open-sourcing this tool! #GDC2026
"You will not believe how many games are not available because of a simple mistake [with rights agreements]."
GOG gives an example of an unnamed game that can't get re-released because of a mistake in the publishing contract 🫠 #GDC2026
