The Game Developers Conference

The GDC has rapidly grown into being one of the premier events in the video gaming calendar - no doubt helped by the E3 scaling down from its behemoth size and regularity. So what better place for an exciting new PC gaming website to launch and get maximum attention!

The day started with us joining the masses for the first day of the GDC Expo - the first part of the week is given over to lectures, sessions and tutorials but the last 3 days are all about meeting fellow developers, press members and enthusiasts. All of the big names in the industry were out in force showing off their latest products and services - big crowds were drawn to Sony’s and Nintendo’s stands, but lots of “ooohs” and “aaahs” could be heard from Crytek’s and Epic’s areas.

We, though, were out to get maximum attention to our new site and that meant hands-on promoting. We also had a huge truck with our flyer plastered all over it doing laps of downtown San Francisco, which turned lots of heads! WOOHOO for Futuremark Corporation & YouGamers.
