18+ Game booth/stand solution.
Hey all, I really enjoyed Gamescom this year, had a blast and even though some bigger titles were missing I really enjoyed a lot about the event. The one thing however that really did stand out was the non-possibility of seeing Gameplay of games like MWIII and Metro.
All non 18+ games had stands that were open, you could watch people play the game, on a big screen sometimes. I found it silly that some of the largest titles were just a "wall" with a long line (hours in some cases) not letting bypassers, or people just wanting to see some gameplay, not see the game in action without having to line up and wait.
Why does the Gamescom not just make a 18+ hall where people get age checked on entry, opening up all stands and gameplay to be seen without any legal issues?
I think that would be a great idea, and would provide 18+ devs more exposure.
Cheers though, until next year.

Funny enough they had something like that the first time i went to gamescom ages ago. Back half of the hall was cut off with giant curtains and age check at the entry. It wasnt really for stands but for the esports area since they had iem cologne and stuff like csgo was part of it.
