About This Episode

Gamescom is not just expensive - it may be one of the most misunderstood investments in games business. Gustav and Pietro Faccio unpack when conferences actually create value, when they become a vanity metric, and because the real ROI often has nothing to do with the number of meetings on your calendar.
The conversation gets into the economics most teams ignore: hotel prices that spike to 450 euros a night, the hidden cost of travel, and why a full calendar can quietly turn into a productivity trap. But the bigger question is more interesting - what happens if Gamescom disappeared tomorrow, and would the industry actually be better off?
