I’m totally okay with that.
Absolutely no need for games that are already doing a major advertising blitz to own 4 booths and push small indie devs to the farthest corners of the expo. For many of these indie studios, these expos is the only paid advertising they get.
I’m really excited to see how this year’s Gamescom turns out. I’m attending with some friends of mine because we won tickets for the Trade Visitor Day and the last time I was there was nearly 10 years ago. I’m just a bit worried because it seems that more and more of the big Publishers are skipping events like these and rather make a live stream instead.
