In my opinion it simply grows/contracts as the gaming industry undergoes the same changes.For me those are headaches/problems that are dealt with behind the curtain.As long as sales are strong in the exhibitor hall (and they were) and the gaming and events are good (and they were -- at least from what I saw) it's all good.I'm sure GAMA would have liked a stronger attendance. But the show was awesome all the same. KenzerCo will certainly be there next year. I know we don't have as far to travel as some companies (about a six hour drive) but it's definitely worth our time to turn out.I know fewer exhibitors in the dealer's room is a bummer for attendees. But for exhibitors? It's give and take. Less competition for gamer dollars certainly made for some great sales at many booths. I heard a rumor Origins is thinking of not charging to let folks into the dealer hall next year (no badges). No idea if it's true. And there was an open bar at the party I heard it at. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> But personally I think it's an awesome idea.</blockquote>
