- In an interview with Denfaminico Gamer, Sakurai said developers must pursue ideas players do not yet recognize they want.
- When the Game Designers Award was established in 2010, about 275 games launched annually on Steam; today, the figure exceeds 19,000.
- Sakurai expects AI to increase game releases; most could become unprofitable and copy systems already seen elsewhere.
- During the ongoing October 2026 Next Fest, 36% of games carried an AI disclaimer; in Japan, reportedly over 85% of developers use AI.
AI will increase the number of games, but I think most of them will become unprofitable titles.— Masahiro Sakurai, speaking to Denfaminico Gamer (translated) – in an interview about AI in game development
