Same as always. I tell every newcomer to gamescom that theft is a huge problem, and they should be extremely paranoid. In 2024, someone went behind the @RageSquid booth with a box cutter, CUT into the locked closet, and pulled my bag out. This happened at ~2pm on Sunday.
We are aware of stolen hardware and take these reports very seriously and understand the frustration of affected exhibitors. Since many requests reached us, we would like to inform about general security regulations at the event: Uniformed guards provide general security across the venue. Individual stand security can be booked separately, and exhibitors are advised to insure equipment against theft. This is noted in the terms and conditions of participation and the technical guidelines. All cases have been reported to us and to the police, and investigations are already underway. We also want to ensure that the reported cases are individual cases, which we are very sorry to read. Because security has one of the highest priorities to us as an event and to see that indie developers are affected makes us very sad. At an event of this size, however, there will always be individuals attempting to take advantage of the situation. Our security measures are designed to minimize such risks as effectively as possible.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While Gamescom frames these thefts as isolated incidents, investigations into the event's security providers have revealed significant vulnerabilities. A WDR investigation found that one-third of the security guards checked had violations, including missing IDs. www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/rh…

Day 1 of the world championships of Warhammer in Atlanta was a blast! It's so good to see so many familiar faces and to be making so many new friends. Let's see what the next 3 days have to offer, I'm super excited and thankful to be here ♥️

Final game vs Kuba's IDK. I think my dice felt like they had to make up for the previous game because absolutely everything went my way. Kragnos and all the dirty tricks popped off and the game ended in a decisive 40-22 win.

All in all the event was absolutely amazing. 4 days of gaming might be one too many for me personally but having that much time to spend with old and new friends is the best. I hope to see all of you at AoS worlds this year!

Played in my first 4.0 GT as the new captain of @DutchAoSTeam! First place secured me a golden ticket✅ Teclis and manifestations are good, who knew? Sentinels were the big MVP though. Thanks to my opponents for 5 wonderful games!
