Content creators are very important to gamescom. That’s why we promote as many interactions between the talents and the communities as possible while ensuring through a variety of measures that these are orderly and safe, so that everyone can have the best possible time at the world’s largest games event.
Both Max Schradin and MontanaBlack received accreditation for gamescom. Both under special security conditions. In MontanaBlack’s case, there was the restriction that he may only stream from the creator co-working space (short: CCWS). The background: After an intensive review, we concluded that the security risk for our visitors would be too great if streams were allowed outside that area. The expected gathering of visitors could quickly disrupt the flow of attendees and pose significant security risks. The safety of all visitors is our top priority at all times.
With the offer to stream from the CCWS, we wanted to give the artist the chance to experience gamescom in a small setting, just as he did the previous year. The offer has been declined for this year so far.
Furthermore, the spokesperson points out that accreditation according to the guidelines is not only determined by the number of viewers or subscribers but also by the connection to gaming culture.
MontanaBlack was already restricted to a stage appearance at gamescom 2023.
This is what it’s all about: Influencers at gamescom are a sensitive topic for many. While the event is a great opportunity for fans to meet their idols, critics argue that gamescom is too focused on content creators, resulting in games being sidelined.
However, even the influencers themselves don’t always appreciate the big fuss around their personalities. Some feel like monkeys in a zoo. The German Twitch streamer Gronkh even stated that he would exclude himself and other influencers from the event.
MeinMMO will also be present at gamescom 2025. As part of the Webedia brand FYNG, we even have a large live show planned. You can find out more about our program here: Find Your Next Game live from gamescom: We will escalate together with you at the world’s largest gaming fair!

The gamescom 2025 is just around the corner, and many Twitch streamers want to be there. However, the gaming event is expected to take place without MontanaBlack. MeinMMO inquired about what is behind this.
What was the situation? With gamescom 2025 approaching, one of the biggest gaming events of the year, many Twitch streamers and YouTubers want to participate. Any content creator worth their salt wants to attend the fair but not just as a regular visitor; they want to get accredited.
Accreditation offers various benefits, such as free entry, access to special creator areas, and other amenities. However, there are ongoing discussions about the process, and disappointed influencers who were not allowed in.
In recent weeks, several Twitch streamers reported that they were denied the coveted accreditation:
- The former moderator Max Schradin was rejected despite his substantial reach of over 450,000 followers on Twitch and an average of 5,000 viewers. The alleged reason: He is simply not a gamer.
- MontanaBlack, one of the biggest streamers on German Twitch, was also affected shortly thereafter. He stated in a call with Schradin, whose gaming content he had defended shortly before, that he too had been rejected.
We at MeinMMO have inquired at gamescom about what is really going on.
MontanaBlack actually started on YouTube with Call of Duty – although many of his fans probably cared more about the entertaining stories back then than about masterful gameplay.
gamescom: “Offer was declined”
What do the officials say? A spokesperson for gamescom stated to MeinMMO that both Max Schradin and MontanaBlack had indeed received accreditation for gamescom 2025 – however, only with restrictions due to security concerns.
After MontanaBlack’s appearance in 2022 caused a massive crowd, the content creator is no longer allowed to walk around the grounds streaming. Instead, a compromise was proposed to the streamer to still be able to participate in the event.
The offer to restrict his stream to the creator co-working space, where fans do not have access, was declined.
