IGDC 2025 Exposed: What Went Wrong at IGDC 2025?

Описание: Official reports say IGDC 2025 was a monumental triumph that "cemented India as a global gaming powerhouse." They boast 10,000 meetings and massive government support. But if you ask the actual developers who attended the move to Chennai, you get a very different story: one of broken promises, doubled costs, and alleged exploitation.

In this investigative post-mortem, we dig into the massive disconnect between the Game Developer Association of India's (GDAI) glossy PR and the grim reality on the expo floor. From the controversial "all sales proceeds" merchandise proposal to the ghosted "Fast Pitch" sessions, we expose how IGDC 2025 became a Tale of Two Conferences: a massive success for the suits, and an expensive failure for the community it was built to serve.
