9 d. ago Even a rebrand may not be able to save America’s most storied gaming event

In this week’s newsletter: since 1988 the Game Developers Conference has been a core part of the gaming calendar – but exorbitant costs and Trumpism put that at riskEvery year for as long as I have been alive (read: since 1988), the annual Game Developers Conference has been held in California.

It’s prohibitively expensive for developers: a conference pass is more than $1,500, and travel and accommodation in one of the w...
