Where did all the UK game events go?
GamesIndustry.biz · 10 min read · culture
The UK games industry lacks major consumer events on the scale of Gamescom or PAX despite a £8.7 billion market. EGX merged into MCM Comic Con, while newer events like To The Moon flopped and an Insomnia revival was cancelled due to insufficient industry support. B2B conferences remain successful.
