" Eurogamer has said it is &amp;quot;disappointed&amp;quot; by the timing of GAME&amp;#039;s consumer trade show, it has been revealed. Managing director Rupert Loman said that GAMEfest, which will run days before the Eurogamer Expo begins, will &amp;quot;burden&amp;quot; exhibitors and possibly split the market. &amp;quot;We don&amp;#039;t feel it&amp;#039;s going to affect our attendance, and from what we&amp;#039;ve heard it isn&amp;#039;t impacting what we will have exhibiting, or the quality of our show,&amp;quot; he told MCV. &amp;quot;Many [exhibitors] are saying they will do the GAME show too, not instead of. But they face a challenge to do two events in one week, and having to increase their budget - history has shown us that isn&amp;#039;t successful for anyone.&amp;quot; Meanwhile, one publishing source called the move a &amp;quot;huge burden&amp;quot; and said having to dedicate resources to both shows is &amp;quot;an impossible decision&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;We previously supported Eurogamer Expo, but we can&amp;#039;t not support the retail market leader,&amp;quot; they said. &amp;quot;So effectively we have to build a separate stand for the public, or separate stands for both shows, or pay extra to quickly move from Birmingham to London. It&amp;#039;s an impossible decision.&amp;quot;  Announced at the Video Game BAFTAs earlier this month, GAMEfest will held at Birmingham&amp;#039;s NEC from September 16 to 18. Meanwhile, the London-based Eurogamer Expo will run from September 22 to 25. Early entry tickets to the event have already sold out. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
