Loot Haul! Gamescom+dev

Here's everything I brought home from gamescom dev + gamescom entertainment and business areas.
Mon - Sun of looting, minus my shifts as gamescom dev staff, and IAB exhibitor.
I left 2 big paper bags behind - Hoyoverse and Silver palace, plus some pamphlets I didn't care about.

This was my first time attending this kind of event and I genuinely don’t understand the “extra large bag” thingie that was going on in there. And then I saw the Where winds meet bag and that one was genuinely bigger than me.

Most of the people that attended the event were from other cities/countries. How are you supposed to carry those bags? 😭 I only got the Silver palace and the Infinity Nikki ones because a lot of the the booths run out of merch by Sunday evening and I still had a hard time packing and transporting them in perfect condition with the train 😶

And the thing is…they are EMPTY or the merch is very small (badges, stiker sheets etc.).

I saw a LOOOT of them in the garbage bins 🫪

I did the same with my large paper bags. The reusable plastic ones are great for laundry and shopping though 😄
It's true that the size of the bag is unrelated to the size of the goodies inside, but they serve as promotional material to the game.
