■ Comment from Kazuhisa Okada, President of Aetas Inc. and Editor-in-Chief of 4Gamer.net
This event is finally in its 4th iteration. To all the students who have come and all the game companies that have exhibited, thank you very much again this time.
Last time, I wrote, 'There's nothing new to write in a comment anymore,' and indeed, for the 4th time, there's still nothing new. However, since the sales representative told me, 'Please just write something,' and 'If Mr. Okada doesn't write, Mr. Miyazaki won't write,' I will do my best.
Well, between the last time and this time, the game industry has gone through quite a turbulent period.
First and foremost, it must be the November release of 'GTA VI.' After repeated delays, a concrete date has finally emerged, and its impact has caused the entire industry to scramble, wondering 'What should we do about our title's release date?' The way a single game can sway the entire world makes one feel the scale of this industry once again.
On the other hand, looking at the global game industry, there have been some heartbreaking news. Epic Games announced layoffs of over 1,000 people, and massive staff reductions have also occurred at Microsoft-owned studios. 3 out of people working at AAA title studios
Furthermore, Fennel Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Ryo Takashima; hereinafter, FENNEL), which operates e-sports teams and produces events, will participate as an operational support from this time. By combining Eed's media expertise and FENNEL's event production capabilities, they aim for a more enriching event.
