Gamescom apologises for how it initially responded to indie developer hardware thefts "Our first response did not strike the right tone, and it did not show the people affected the empathy they deserved." Gamescom has apologised for the way it "communicated about the theft of hardware belonging to several indie developers" last week, admitting, "our first response did not strike the right tone, and it did not show the people affected the empathy they deserved". Multiple exhibitors at Gamescom reported thefts of laptops and other equipment from their booths in Cologne last week, with one indie developer, Ryan Laley, saying the loss has effectively ended his show early. Iam8bit also reported two of its laptops were taken overnight from the same business area, as did Tessera Studios. — gamescom (@gamescom) September 4, 2026 Now, in a new statement posted yesterday (4th September), Gamescom posted a follow-up statement on social media, saying the organisers "understand what this has cost you, and we should have said so from the very first moment".
