These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.As technology is being expressed through a broader range of formats, including games and web services, and development methods are diversifying with generative AI, the competition will emphasize “what to create,” “why to create it” and its value for use in society, rather than differences in the tools or methods used.
