Ok I was hoping by looking at previous game hints I could kinda figure out how the GDC comes up with these things, so I started a list of previous game hints and their solutions while waiting for the 2015 hint. Sorry I only analyzed 2014 and 2013 before this year's hint was released. However we can learn several big things from the GDC's previous hints:
1. Game hints can be very intricate or very basic depending on how much time the GDC has. Since this year is a video I'm assuming it's intricate.
2. They threw a curve ball at us, normally its a string of numbers not a video, which annoyed me because there is so much more data in a video making it much harder!!!
3. Based on #1, the solutions to game hints can be a multi-step process, check out the 2013 solution, the people on chief delphi used a cipher (with a slight twist, one # represented 2 different letters) to get a vague riddle which they solved to get the hint, and even then it seemed like a long-shot but it turns out they were correct!
So from this we should learn to never rule out any ideas based on the hint! (unless they are about water games or triple alliances cause FIRST is big on safety, meaning no water, and they already ordered the same fields). This is why I definitely believe the 1999 footage was no mistake, also I noticed everyone found the original footage for each year in the hint quite easily, maybe the hint requires us to look at the original videos and find clues there, like the dates they were uploaded or something,
