Do you recognize the audience member in this recording from CGDC 1989? This might be the earliest recording of game designer Warren Spector!

Our favorite pick from the CGDC 1989 collection is The Publishers' Panel, featuring real talk from executives at major US computer game publishers.
Here's Trip Hawkins, getting candid about how Nintendo was reshaping the game business in 1989:

If anyone wants to make CGDC a thing let me know bc Canadian devs deserve a lil unity rn
Today my partner and I cancelled our GDC plans.
It wasn’t an easy decision to make, but between reduced air safety, increased border control detainments, and escalating tensions between the US and Canada, travelling to the US for a games conference (especially from Canada) doesn't seem worth it.

I would love a CGDC, it's incredibly hard to meet other devs in person up here without working in a studio 💀

GDC doesn't do that anymore. They focus on shipped successful games. Good lessons to learn, but always looking backward never forward. I miss the bards of CGDC.

"The Point Is", a lecture by Brian Moriarty, given at CGDC 1996. The Proceedings had a typographical version which went on for several pages in this Discordian/Brunner-esque style.

okay so basically it's full of really mean-spirited jokes and the girls grope each other but are always screaming no homo and calling each other weirdos and creeps for it, and it's just a really nasty show in general while pretending to be a CGDC show? Also lots of piss jokes. Lots.
