Gronkh settles scores with Gamescom – Too many influential people at Gamescom?

(…) Since then I’ve been to Gamescom every year. Every year.”

Gronkh on the issues with Gamescom: “I’m afraid she is [Anm.d.Red. Gemeint ist die Gamecom] It evolved in the wrong direction.” Grunach means this noticeable trend that more and more creators and influencers can be found at the show each year. According to him, fans would storm the halls to see their idols. All others who are there for the games will lose. Gronk adds that Gamescom should be a great meeting point for gamers, not influencers.
Twitch streamer MckyTV also recently commented on Gamescom on Twitter, today X. He’s also having some issues with the show: MckyTV gave away Gamescom giveaways this year – losing the love of video games.
Gronkh and Gamescom – what happens next for the show’s broadcaster?
Grunch about the future: My plan is that from next year we will try to organize our own smaller events. Youtube detection. In return, Gamescom will grant permission. “Maybe I won’t be at Gamescom itself anymore, but around Gamescom.” The live streamer and YouTuber thus announces that he may not be actively present at Gamescom in the future.
It is a noticeable trend currently as more and more influencers can be seen in this mega event. As a result, smaller broadcasters in particular are hoping to make valuable connections. Last year, MontanaBlack turned the show on its head. Video games were secondary there. However, Gamescom remains an important part of the gaming scene for many.
