Before we all head out for the holidays 🎄❄️ , we have two amazing speakers dropping by to share their experiences:⭐ Gaming, the Attention Economy & Macro Trends of 2025 by Colan NeeseIn 2025, games are not just competing with each other, they are fighting TikTok, streaming, and every other screen for a fixed pool of attention. In this session, Colan will use mindGAME Data to show how that zero-sum battle is playing out across genres and platforms, highlighting themes from the latest quarterly report, including subscription strain and platform consolidation, the rise of breakout new IP in a sequel-heavy landscape, and the growing role of TikTok and short-form video in discovery. Attendees will walk away with clear benchmarks for 2025 and simple frameworks they can use to pressure-test roadmaps, marketing plans, and launch timing against the reality that attention in gaming is finite.⭐ Leveraging Steam reviews for machine learning and driving insights by Bethany KokThe Steam Web API allow you to fetch game-related key information like news, global stats, and more importantly - user reviews!
