However, this may be the last year in this location, as the increasing growth of this event begins to cause problems. In fact, this year&#8217;s edition expects about 200,000 visitors, which is a much larger attendance than the one achieved by E3.<\/p>\n<p>The trick is that the Leipzig Games Convention has a business area for games companies, developers and other professionals, but also public areas open to everyone. Just as an example, this year&#8217;s Convention will include family activities, an open-air summer festival and even camping facilities.
