The Game Developers Conference (GDC) has published a new survey about the state of the video games industry. More than 3,000 developers and industry professionals shared their thoughts on the most popular platforms, revenue shares, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

GDC organizers have opened registration for GDC Summer that will take place August 4th through 6th in San Francisco.

Gamedev.world ran a fundraising event from March 27th to April 3rd, with money going to the GDC Relief Fund.  The raised money should support devs affected by the cancellation of GDC. The effort generated $61 thousand.

While GDC organizers announced that the show would be postponed until summer, some of the talks were streamed last week as part of GDC Virtual Talks. Now they are available on Twitch or via the GDC Vault for free.

GDC is currently streaming virtual talks on Twitch that should have taken place during the offline event this week.

While GDC organizers offered refunds to all participants, many developers couldn’t cancel their travel plans because of non-refundable costs or time taken off work.

For those stuck travelling to San Francisco, alternative events are being set up.

Following the exodus of several notable exhibitors, the GDC organizers decided to postpone the event until the summer.

Iron Galaxy Studios became the latest company to cancel their participation in Game Developer Conference 2020.

Facebook and Sony were not the last companies to cancel their participation in GDC 2020. The list of notable absentees has now grown to include Kojima Productions and Electronic Arts.

PlayStation and Facebook Gaming/Oculus will not be coming to GDC 2020 due to concerns related to coronavirus.
