In this paper we survey the motivations behind contemporary game AI research by analysing individual publications, the researchers themselves, and the institutions that influence them. In doing so, we identify some negative effects on our field, caused both by external forces outside of our control as well as institutionalised behaviours that are easily overlooked. We suggest how we might begin to address some of these issues as a community, and reassert ourselves as the primary driving force behind the field.
