The speaker says GDC provides an annual opportunity for studios to share how they made a Game of the Year, and characterizes it as the only way aspiring AAA-studio developers can learn that work.

“They don't do anything else. But one time a year they come to GDC and they will share, like, "This is how I did Game of the Year." And that's the only way, if you're trying to be a game developer and you want to work at a AAA game studio, that's the only way you learn.”
