Gamescom, the prominent annual gaming convention, has recently issued an apology concerning its initial handling of hardware thefts that affected several independent game developers last week. The organizers are retracting their previous statements regarding the incidents.
The apology specifically addresses Gamescom’s communication about the thefts, acknowledging that their first response was not appropriate. The convention admitted that their initial public comments failed to show proper understanding or concern for the affected creators, indicating a misstep in how they addressed the community’s concerns following the incidents.
This report is based on information initially published by Eurogamer.net.
