[games_access] GDC Germany

[d. michelle hinn]

GDC (it's GamesCom/GDC/something else) is in 
Cologne (http://www.gdceurope.com/). Leipzig, the 
old version, is dead but there's a new company 
that took it over. It was all over some game news 
sites yesterday. So, yes, it still exists...but 
it's no longer the same company so now who knows 
how it will go now. :

I'm collecting info on the big gaming news sites 
(US and UK versions) so I can forward that.

Yes, the game industry changes everywhere a 
lot...now E3 is back! But because they are 
different companies running them all the time, 
it's hard to know what the quality will be until 
it's over because there's no track record with 
the new companies. Very frustrating when you go 
because you hope it will be big and then...if it 
isn't then you feel like you didn't reach as many 
people as the travel, etc was worth. Still, 
reaching out to anyone is always good...but these 
days when you travel you want that to be as many 
people as possible!!

If you have info on Cologne, please let me know 
off list -- it sounds like it's a nice region of 
Germany. I'm looking forward to it because I've 
been so sick for almost two years and now I 
finally can go to conferences and enjoy the event 
and the town and not just give a talk and spend 
the rest of the time sick at the hotel.
