International game developers are increasingly skipping the 2025 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco due to concerns about U.S. border security and safety for foreign nationals, particularly those from minority groups or with public political views. The trend intensified following reports of tourists being detained or turned away at U.S. borders, prompting some studios to avoid physical presence at the event and developers to take extensive precautions including security briefings and legal preparation.
