Gamescom had a bad schedule.

It had the olympics basically hogging all the limelight for two weeks and just weeks ago, a shooter killed innocent people in germany. Do you think Gamescom had it bad this year? Should it have been delayed for atleast a week? The spacing last 2012 from London Olympics was atleast acceptable than this year, IMO.

Doesn't matter if media coverage is slimmer and the tickets sold are lesser.

Well what more can you ask for then?

To me Gamescom has always been much more about people actually attending and seeing for themselves. It's never got as much media attention as E3 and likely never will so that's hardly a surprise.

 

Pretty much this, especially when many games are being demoed on VR hardware this year (since VR doesn't advertise well, they're hoping for word of mouth to push it).
