When @EPICLAN finally gets Dexerto coverage after all these years...
For a joke response about shitting in a bucket. š
UK esports organizer EPIC.LAN says it's "adding this to the list of banned items at LAN": dexerto.com/gaming/viral-forā¦

So the response is book your own security š«
We are aware of stolen hardware and take these reports very seriously and understand the frustration of affected exhibitors.
Since many requests reached us, we would like to inform about general security regulations at the event:
Uniformed guards provide general security across the venue. Individual stand security can be booked separately, and exhibitors are advised to insure equipment against theft.
This is noted in the terms and conditions of participation and the technical guidelines.
All cases have been reported to us and to the police, and investigations are already underway.
We also want to ensure that the reported cases are individual cases, which we are very sorry to read.
Because security has one of the highest priorities to us as an event and to see that indie developers are affected makes us very sad. At an event of this size, however, there will always be individuals attempting to take advantage of the situation.
Our security measures are designed to minimize such risks as effectively as possible.
Community note
Gamescom's statement calls the thefts "individual cases" and stresses optional extra stand security/insurance, but multiple exhibitors reported laptops stolen overnight from restricted business and indie area booths despite purported 24/7 general security.

To the clever people saying ādonāt you have insuranceā around the Gamescom thefts.
That doesnāt help you while youāre at the show.
And insurers do what they can to wriggle out of paying, especially in scenarios like this where they try to pass liability up the chain of custody

Stop stealing shit at events that doesn't belong to you.
Venues, take responsibility, especially when this happens out of hours when you are liable for who is coming and going.
Gaming events are struggling enough as it is, if you want them to continue this needs to stop.
My #gamescom cut short. Our equipment was stolen last night from the booth.
Police reports have been filed.
At a loss for words to describe the feeling. Just defeated. Gonna do my best with what's left of the week.
But a huge blow financially and mentally

We're looking at our 2027 @EPICLAN esports lineup and want to hear from communities that would like to have serious discussions about their games being represented (it doesn't have to be every event, could be an annual thing).

Seeing and hearing so many people in front of and behind the cameras at events like this is a constant reminder of why itās important for us to keep creating opportunities through EPIC.LAN!
So humbling to see how far people have come in the industry.
Grassroots is critical.
