This week in Germany, video game fans from all across the world have congregated at the altar of Gamescom, Europe’s biggest trade show. And it looks like… hell.
I mean, check out this photo, snapped by IGN’s Brian Albert:
That just seems so unpleasant. North America’s big gaming shows — E3 and PAX — are always crowded, but they’re never this crowded. At least they get schnitzel.

I spy a Link! Now, where’s Wally?
But is this maybe a transit hall? Surely the showroom floor would be a little better? I hope.
Yeah, it looks like the transit hall. PAX was probably just as crowded last year. Or maybe I was just scarred by the experience and have it played up in my mind. So… many… people…
Pax; maybe not as many people in one area, but definitely the same density. By the 3rd day, I hated it.
They need a ball pit.
The the demographic breakdown on display in this photo is a fair sample of the entire show then there’s a fair bit of sausage on offer, too.
Wurst for days.
This is why I don’t go to conventions.
If anyone knows of any conventions that are ridiculous failures that almost nobody turns up to I’ll go to one of those.
DashCon lololol.
