gamescom: Awesome Indies
The gamescom: Awesome Indies returned at gamescom 2021 in cooperation with IGN:
gamescom is a celebration of all games big and small, not to mention the food and culture of its host nation, Germany. Unfortunately, IGN couldn’t make it all the way to Cologne this year, so we hit up the next best place (that was within twenty miles of our office): world-famous Venice Beach in Los Angeles! Just like independent gaming, the Venice boardwalk draws people from all around the world, and makes for a raucous backdrop of food, culture, and spectacle. The Awesome Indies Showcase 2021 was back, with your Webby and Streamy Award-Winning Host, Michael Swaim! He celebrated summer and gamescom with a beach day full of exclusive trailers, fun and games, and the unique scene only Venice Beach locals can provide.
