Games Convention Online 2011 taken offline
Games Convention Online, the anemic competition to the behemoth that is Gamescom, will not occur this year -- or, likely, ever again. The organizers of the Leipziger Messe said that despite support the past two years, the show was unable to find a "firm financial footing." The GCO was a reactionary show created to fill the void left in Leipzig when the industry made Cologne its new home for an annual European mega-show. In its first year, GCO attracted 43,000 attendees, but the following year it went trade only and no figures were announced. Gamescom 2011 is ready to rock Cologne again from August 17 - 21.
Games Convention Online decides to go trade only
Games Convention Online in Leipzig, Germany will not be open to the public this year, as event organizers decided this week to make it a business forum. A Leipziger Messe spokesperson stated that the "number of registered public exhibitors was insufficient" to satisfy the interest of visitors "whose past experiences bring them with high expectations to Leipzig." Overall, the convention is allegedly "bigger" this year, with 30 companies planning to attend -- three more than last year. Games Convention Online, which had 43,000 attendees in 2009 during its inaugural year, was Leipzig's way of staying on the gaming map after Europe's über convention moved to Cologne, Germany and became the wildly successful GamesCom. This year's business-only Game Convention Online will be held in July. Members of the public interested in playing games can head over to GamesCom in Cologne when it returns this August.
