The largest computer games fair in the world is coming up in Cologne. What can be expected there, which games are currently in vogue and what is on players’ minds – we talk about that in this episode.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors, more than a thousand exhibitors from more than 60 countries: Gamescom will start in Cologne next week. The computer games fair has evolved – it no longer wants to be primarily a meeting place for trade visitors, but really a festival for gamers and those interested in games. And indeed, more and more people are playing more and more video games. Also in Germany.
But what is trending right now? What will be special about this Gamescom? When and how is computer gaming harmful? In addition to these questions, a discussion is currently raging about whether what is being discussed in player forums is causing more hate and hatred on the Internet. Or even encourage violence in real life. We talk about that too in this episode.
