Despite spending ten years in the videogame media, I have never been to Gamescom. Early in my career, my employer didn’t consider it big enough to bother sending anyone to. (One former colleague used to pay his own way out there, then make thousands writing up what he’d seen for every magazine and website in the building.) Once the bosses started to see value in it and began asking us who we’d like to send, I consistently turned it down. The email typically arrived the week after I got back from E3, when I’d rather have stuck hot needles in my eyes than get on another plane.
