@Kotaku For indie devs, it's not being passed over for a free slot that stings, it's the idea a deeper pocketed studio can pay six figures to get in instead. It's been like that for many, many years, but gachaslop ironically has been paying for the presentations - no more Schick Hydrobot
@Kotaku Known for years. Bubsy 4D got in for free last ONL, but the gacha devs had to pay up, which honestly does not surprise me because they often get their money back from players.
Some really deep-pocketed investors (e.g: people behind Endfield) are willing to pay for that privilege
Anyone doing a watch party for GTA 6's Netflix trailer at gamescom? Would be interesting to see the perspective of fellow attendees as well as exhibitors.
@ccbaker2023 In fairness, Amtrak has been removing a ton of seating (or moving to paid area) system-wide to discourage loitering, but Moynihan's seating was removed due to a design decision.
