Breaking: GDC China Canceled?

Wed, Jul 2, 2008

GameCyte has just learned that the 2008 China Game Developers Conference, commonly known as GDC China, has been canceled.

Our source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that “relationship issues within China” are preventing conference sponsor Think Services (formerly CMP Game Group) from going forward with their plans for the event.

Though the first GDC China — held in Shanghai last year — was publically considered a success, it was announced last December that its successor would move to Beijing instead. GDC China 2008 was slated for this September 24-26.

CMP was unavailable for comment at time of publication. Given the unconfirmed nature of this report, we’re calling it rumor for now.
