Hardcore Gamer: If you’re a fan of gaming conventions then you’ve likely heard of GX before. Previously known as GaymerX, this crowdfunded convention has taken place in Northern California for two years in a row, with the third this December.
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.
Alexx at IGCritic says "In the attempt to help make this easier on you all, Here is a list of still to come top gaming conventions in 2016, with entrance prices and dates so you can make the most of your work vacation and dive into a sea of gaming nirvana"
