About Session
The video game industry is going through a long‑overdue reset. After years of ballooning budgets, risk‑averse design, and ever‑bigger teams, AAA development has become slower, safer and, in some cases, less fun.
In this talk, Ubisoft Toronto Managing Director Darryl Long looks at how we got here, why the old “bigger is better” model is breaking down, and where the real opportunities now lie. From leaner teams to smarter tooling and more creative risk‑taking, this is about rebuilding an industry that’s sustainable, resilient, and genuinely exciting to work in again.
