Panel: The Current State Of AI In Games.
Artificial intelligence functions primarily as a transformative tool designed to augment human creativity and operational efficiency within the gaming industry rather than serving as a replacement for developers.
- AI is currently in a testing and prototyping phase for game development, with the technology evolving so rapidly that tools are being superseded by competitors in less than a month.
- Mobile gaming is adopting generative AI more aggressively than the console and PC sectors, primarily driven by the need for rapid experimentation in ad networks and monetization models.
- AI tools are effectively streamlining development workflows by removing repetitive tasks, with industry leaders calculating ROI based on the ability of tools like Claude to save significant developer hours.

How Oink can help F2P developers tap into the young adult market
The monetization of the under-18 gaming demographic presents significant challenges for free-to-play developers, primarily due to regulatory compliance, parental concerns regarding unauthorized spending, and the lack of accessible payment methods for minors.
- The under-18 gaming demographic represents a massive market with an annual spending power of £3 billion in the UK and $200 billion in the US.
- Free-to-play developers struggle to monetize minors due to regulatory compliance like COPPA, the lack of traditional payment methods for children, and high rates of 'friendly fraud' chargebacks.
- Oink functions as a secure intermediary by allowing parents to fund digital wallets with monthly allowances, removing the need for minors to store credit card data or personal information.
