Dean Takahashi holds Cuphead at GamesBeat Summit 2018.

Thanks for coming to GamesBeat Summit 2018: The Future of Games

Thank you to those who came to GamesBeat Summit 2018. We had 264 attendees, compared to about 200 in our first summit in 2015. And we had many thousands of people watching on our livestreams on Facebook and Twitch. It’s not quite the crowd of 28,000 people who attended the recent Game Developers Conference.

But that’s the whole point.
