How long would you stand in line to play a new game from your favorite series?

At gaming conventions, fans sometimes stand in line for hours to try out their highly anticipated games. What would be your breaking point?

“Please do not line up from here. Estimated waiting time 6+ hours.” These sentences will be familiar to anyone of you who has ever attended a large gaming convention. This was also the case for our author Benedict Grothaus.

Last week, he was at PAX East in America, where he was able to try out Magic: Legends and Doom Eternal. There he experienced the same scenes: Long lines of people waiting to finally get a quick glimpse of their long-awaited game.

Games like Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy VII Remake, or CoD: Modern Warfare attracted huge crowds of fans at various gaming conventions, ready to wait for hours just to enjoy about 10-15 minutes of new gameplay.

The lines at PAX East wrapped several times around the booths, according to Benedict.

We want to know from you: Imagine this: You get the chance to try out a game at a gaming convention that you have been eagerly anticipating. Or maybe it’s a new game that belongs to your absolute favorite series.
