Seriously, what’s the deal with GDC? I was curious about visiting the Indie Game Summit the next year but every time I check out something about GDC, I get struck by the ridiculous pricing. This is even BEYOND ridiculous, it is totally unacceptable. And it makes even LESS sense if you consider that they feature a Indie Games Summit. If you charge 1500$ for entry, what kind of “Indie Game Developers” are you addressing exactly? Because somebody doing “Indie Game Development” and having that kind of money to spare seems like a contradiction. For me, 1500$ is serious money. For that kind of money I could buy the WHOLE Adobe Master Collection or a new PC or I could pay my rent for 3 months which is enough time to get a decent flash game done. All of this would benefit me more then anything the GDC has to offer. Maybe I miss something, could anybody explain it to me?
Oh yeah and the kicker is that they have a students pass for barely acceptable 75$. But then it doesn’t cover that “Indie Games Summit”. WHAT?!
