Editing Game Developers Conference (section)

===Developer's Rant===
Since 2005, the "rant" panel has been one of the most popular sessions at the conference. Moderated by [[Eric Zimmerman]] and [[Jason Della Rocca]], a selection of notable industry figures are invited to speak on industry-related subjects they are passionate about.  According to Zimmerman, the idea of the panel "is to really take those grumblings and mutterings and bring them out into the light, speak truth to power, cut through to the real s***, and talk about what is going on in our industry—what's wrong and what we can do to change it."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamespot.com/news/6120449.html |title=GDC rant heard 'round the world |date=March 18, 2005 |first=Galen |last=Davis |publisher=Gamespot.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070606215623/http://www.gamespot.com/news/6120449.html |archive-date=June 6, 2007 }}</ref> Many rants inspire controversy, discussion and a good deal of media coverage in industry press. Most rant sessions focus on a particular segment of the industry to draw their speakers from:

* 2005: "Burning Down the House: Game Developers Rant"
* 2006: "Burn Baby, Burn: Game Developers Rant"
* 2007: "Burning Mad: Game Publishers Rant"
* 2008: "Pouring Gas on the Flames: Game Designers Rant"
* 2009: "Burned by Friendly Fire: Game Critics Rant"
* 2010: "Fired and Fired-Up: Jobless Developers Rant"
* 2011: "No Freaking Respect! Social Game Developers Rant Back"
* 2012: "Burn this MotherFather!: Game Dev Parents Rant"
* 2013: "Mad as Hell: Hothead Developers Rant Back"
* 2014: "Rant Apocalypse: The 10th Anniversary Mega Session"

The Rant panel has inspired similarly structured sessions, with more specialized topics (e.g., "Game Educators Rant" during the Education Summit, or rants during the Indie Game Summit).
