CCC Says: "Many of you probably haven’t heard of Gaymer X, a gaming convention that is specifically made to be a safe space for LGBT members of the gaming community. Well, it’s the convention’s second year running, and it’s growing rather quickly. In fact, its first year was larger than most first year conventions ever get. Sure, it doesn’t hold a candle to PAX, but at 2,300 attendees in year one, it had more people show up than Otakon did in its first year, or even San Diego Comic Con!"
Josh Grifiths writes: "This new location is not without its problems, however. As stated in the Risks and Challenges section, the event this year is being held in a hotels and convention centers, and event planner Midboss was unable to secure an adjacent hotel for guests to stay."
Marcus Estrada writes: "GX4 proved an interesting convention for many reasons. The biggest of which might just be the fact that it felt smaller when compared to GX3. Despite a full booking of panels, very few stood out to me personally this time around. Even though there was an expo hall, it only featured a slim selection of folks selling their wares. Instead, booths for Intel, GitHub, LinkedIn and others took up space and seemed best for people looking to network."
They are allowed but there is not much to do in this event if you are not part of that community and/or care about the "issues that affects them". Most of the panels are focused on the LGBT agenda, with stuff like "safe spaces" or "why your games don't need white cis males", etc....
Not a bad event in any way, but it is too restricted in their goal and this ultimately affects the number of people interested in it.
