Indie Devs Showcase Games Online Due to High Gamescom Costs

Independent developers share their projects on social media, bypassing the hefty expense of showcasing at Gamescom.

Gamescom trailer spots cost upwards of $127,000, a barrier for many indie developers.
Developers use social media to share GIFs, videos, and images of their games.
The trend has highlighted a diverse range of indie games, from RPGs to roguelikes.
Games like '1000xResist' and 'Mullet Madjack' have gained attention through this online movement.
The initiative has created a vibrant, alternative platform for indie game promotion.
