Most people who don't work in games still think of it as entertainment. That framing sells the industry short by about a trillion dollars.
TOBB Türkiye Kreatif Endüstriler Meclisi runs a YouTube interview series called Yaratıcı Izler, and the eighth episode handed the mic to the game sector. Setimedia Co-Founder Tugbek Olek joined as the guest, in his capacity as both head of the TOGED Advisory Board and a member of the council itself.
The conversation covered a lot of ground. How the industry is actually structured. The real differences between console, PC, and mobile as markets, not just as platforms. The economic shape of gaming in Turkiye. Where AI sits right now in game development workflows. And for younger people looking to build a career here, some practical thinking on how to approach that.
The episode was hosted by Elçin Sümer and produced with the support of BAU Studios. It's live now on the TOBB Türkiye Kreatif Endüstriler Meclisi YouTube channel.
Here's the full talk:
