In swerving sharply toward decentralized finance (a.k.a., The Great Spreadsheet Migration), GDC has joined the league of companies plunging into blockchain, DeFi, and other words CEOs learned last Tuesday. The real magic, however, happens at its quirky AI Catalysis subsidiary, which spends its days livestreaming e-commerce and possibly nights explaining to confused relatives what, exactly, it does for a living.
