Join us in Cologne on Thursday, August 14!

[url=http://www.gamescom-cologne.com" target="_blank]GamesCom Cologne[/url] is the biggest European games industry show and we know that many of you will be attending. We'd love to take this chance to meet you! Alas, we think that the middle of a busy trade show is not the best place to hang out with you, dear Goggers. We'd like to meet you in a more friendly venue and spend some time chatting, sharing a few beers, and playing some games in a relaxed atmosphere of a gamer-friendly pub. So, we'd like to heartily invite you to the GOG.com Party that will be taking place on Thursday, August 14, from 5:00PM to 10:00PM local time, in one of the local pubs not far from where the GamesCom main show will be located.

We've got 70 open spots. To reserve yours, contact us at [url=mailto:party@gog.com]party@gog.com[/url] and give us your full name and the GOG.com username (or usernames, if you're bringing a friend) and the time we can expect your arrival. We'll ask you to RSVP before the event, to make sure you didn't change your mind about attending. We'll let you know if you made the main guest list. If you're late to register, we'll get your name on our backup list and contact you if a spot opens on the main one.

We have some cool activities planned for you! You'll be able to play some games in our NVidia-powered GOG arcade. We've got lots of GOG goodies to give away. There'll be prizes to win in contests. Beer and soft drinks will be waiting at the bar for all of our guests! A big chunk of GOG.com Team is going to be there, and we look forward to meeting you all in person. If you know you'll be attending, please also drop a note here in the forums below, so all other Goggers will know they'll get to hang out with you! Also, feel free to make suggestions as to what would you like to see in the GOG.com Party.

This invitation will be updated with new details as we get closer to GamesCom, so make sure to drop by every now and then! Bottom line: party with GOG.com at GamesCom, Thursday, August 14, 5:00PM-10:00PM. Great fun, free beer, GOG goodies for our guests. 70 open spots, reserve yours at [url=mailto:party@gog.com]party@gog.com[/url].

GOG meeting! Let me check the distance... Hm, 800km, let me think about it for a while :>
Neither can I be there, unfortunately, but to everyone who attends the party, have lots of fun!
I'm not going this year as the 2011 and 2012 gamescoms were organisational clusterfucks (and apparently 2013 was no better, didn't go because I wasn't needed in Cologne last year). A shame really, as I'd have loved to meet the GOG team personally.

Seriously, gamescom is a bit of a bad joke - dreadful crowd control, waiting in line in excess of two hours just to watch rolling demos of games or play demos for five minutes, grossly overpriced and poor-quality food and drink (I bought a bratwurst, but what I ate wasn't a bratwurst) and absolutely no discipline by the publishers, who seem to be competing with each other to see who have the loudest booths.

Mind you, the retro section is interesting, I got to meet Chris Hülsbeck in the flesh (a gaming music legend!) and watching the cosplay events was fun.

Why thank you! Wish I could be there but that's a bit too far, even for free beer.

No. Read this: http://crowdtamers.com/about/about-trevor/marketing-maestro-for-hire

TeT did not make a post since beginning of April after the regional pricing debacle so it safe to assume that the thing written in his blog site is true.

This is also TeTs post on his google + profile from 13th of June:

"I'll toss this up here, too, as I have some friends only on Google+:

So now that E3 is past and GOG's made all their announcements and everything, I'm comfortable saying that it's been a phenomenal pleasure and a great learning experience these last (nearly) four years at GOG.com, but I've decided that I'll be leaving to find other opportunities out there. I'll miss the team at GOG, and I wish them the best with Galaxy and their other projects, but it's on to the next great thing! "
