Poor Old Leipzig Ain’t What It Used To Be

By |

Last year, Leipzig was host to Europe’s premier games industry expo, which attracted over 200,000 people. This year? Leipzig’s Games Convention Online could only attract 43,000 punters.

Why the decline? Well, it’s all in the name. Last year’s Leipzig Games Convention was a showcase for all things gaming, from consoles to handhelds to the PC. But this year, the bulk of the industry has committed to the rival Games Com show in Köln, leaving Leipzig to pay host to a show about…online gaming.

A show you have to attend in person, about online gaming. No wonder nobody turned up. Indeed, when you put it that way, 43,000 is pretty damn good, all things considered.
