Streamer criticizes influencer rush at Gamescom
12.20 p.m.: Every year, Gamescom not only attracts fans of video games, but also numerous influencers who otherwise have little to do with the industry. At least that is the opinion of the influencer “Mcky”, who is followed by over a million people on the “Twitch” platform. As he writes in the social networks, Gamescom “has developed into a huge trade fair where not only gamers, but also a large number of influencers and content creators gather.” And that’s where the streamer sees the problem.
“Lately I feel like priorities have shifted,” Mcky continued. “Over the past few years, I’ve noticed that Gamescom has become more of a gathering place for influencers, rather than focusing on what unites us all – the love of video games.” Therefore, the streamer has decided not to participate in Gamescom this year. “I hope you understand my decision,” he continues to write to his fans.
A particularly large number of streamers can be expected with “Astragon” and “Congstar”.
10:17 am: According to the trade magazine “Gameswirtschaft”, a particularly large number of influencers and streamers for autographs can be found at the stands of the manufacturers Astragon (Hall 6), 9GAG (Hall 10.1) and Congstar (Hall 9).
