I know people from here go there to see the footy games so thought it would be worth posting

The Leipzig Game Convention has officially been cancelled, with this year's event planned for August 20 - 23 no longer taking place.

The key industry and consumer event in Europe will now be Gamescom, taking place August 19 - 23 in Cologne. GDC Europe will also run August 17 - 19 at the same location.

"In view of the new situation in terms of competition on the German trade fair market, Leipziger Messe would be dropping the GC - Games Convention from the 2009 calendar," said Leipziger Messe in a statement.

I had heard rumblings that they were cancelling Leipzig and moving the location to a new city this year and what better place than a major city like Cologne
