in a just world this will be the last gdc that's the professional games show that people have to fly in from abroad for, i think gamescom should take that mantle for the sake of everybody

Yeah of course but it will only happen if people make the event. That's where all the EU events come from. GDC was grassroots once upon a time. It's what I was trying to do with Game Devs of Color Expo, then COVID happened, then I realized the people I worked with couldn't really grow an event.
PAX was a tiny event, so was EVO. It takes a lot to start an event, find a venue, etc. Like game development, keeping an event growing takes a lot of work that many aren't capable of doing.
Boston's Festival of Indie games ended, Indiecade East ended. There's East Coast Games conference, in NC.

Europe has a lot of events, too.
The US has so few. I don't think folks need to fly in for it, but they find it useful. Running a scholarship I see how important it is to people.
