  • 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.
