With this view, anything game related can be shown over the internet (or anything news worthy - for that matter). We should just rid the world of news papers and television since I can watch most shows on the net and get most news via Yahoo! 

Yeah, doesn't really make a strong case. Them not being there isn't a plus for everyone, no matter the spin applied. Them being there, regardless of little may be present, hurts nobody.

since i didn't see a lot of gaming related stuff on television here in germany, yes they could get rid of it and i can see it on the internet or read it in gaming magazines if i want to buy one which not many do anymore. and no, it isn't totally useless, if you show a new console or so you should show that on a stage but if you only show a halo 4 gameplay video on a stage or a beyond video, why do you need a stage for that?

sure it would be better for the fans if microsoft would be there but in reality, if you have no console or other very important new stuff like sony who has to present vita to more people, it isn't so important to use millions of dollars to be there.

Well, agree to disagre here. Sony will show more than the Vita, proving if you support a console with plenty of software, you'll have something to show. It is called GAMEScom, after all.

Microsoft has stuff they can show, they just don't see the need. I understand that, doesn't mean that I agree with it, or that it's somehow OK for the fans.

i edited my post when you quoted me. i said exactly that, they would show halo and so on and people could play a few minutes demo they already saw on the internet. that's really not such a huge difference... and like i already said as well, a game like forza horizon will be there as demo on the marketplace, i don't need gamescom to play forza demo, same with fable and so on...

i would say in reality, the only games we won't see as demo at the same time when gamescom starts or little bit later are halo 4 and maybe gears. and i'm still not sure with halo. gamescom is just too late to show people the stuff they won't have on the marketplace to download in the same time span.
