Virtual Worlds News has a liveblog.
It’s all very businessy, and therefore likely dull. But hey, if you’re doing a startup in games, maybe you’re interested. 🙂
Edit: Gamasutra has an even more complete transcript.
Edit 2: and here’s another take.

and was focused on the gaming industry’s accessibility and where it is and should be headed. You can find commentary on his talk here, and audio is available for purchase here. The panels that Raph participated in wereStartup Lessons from Recent Online Gamesand Where Are the Biggest Online Gaming Opportunities?. In addition, You can read Raph’s general AGDC wrapup here.

Not dull. Cringe-worthy though. Some comments struck me as naive and idealistic, and of course, every discussion about “startup lessons” always seems to rehash everything more experienced entrepreneurs have said for decades.
The most interesting aspects of the discussion appear to be the financial side of the coin. I’d like to hear/read more about Ybarra’s continuous investment cycle and Hyatt’s fundraising activities.
