The future has already been shaped by the past, and that past is built on game development. Game dev isn’t just about creating fun or entertainment—it’s a methodology, a mindset, and a powerful design philosophy that’s been quietly influencing everything from AI to education to digital interaction.

In this talk, Johanna Pirker will explore how the tools and thinking behind game development aren’t just part of the entertainment industry—they’re the future of tech itself. By looking at how games have already started to shape areas like user experience, smart cities, healthcare, and even AI, we’ll uncover why play is the next superpower every developer should embrace. The future past has arrived, and it’s time to think like a game developer to build tomorrow’s world, today.
