A Stroll Down Memory Lane: The Video Game Launch Parties of the Aughts
On October 8, 2006, a landmark event took place. The who's who of the aughts, donned in satin and high-sheen fabrics, their eyes lined with kohl, gathered to party. The guest list featured the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, all before they became the media tycoons we know today.
But this wasn't the only gaming event that glittered with star-studded attendance. From console launches like the PS3 and Xbox 360 to game releases like Halo: Reach and Gears of War, celebrities were a common sight. They were spotted holding up physical copies of games, leaving with swag bags, and posing with fans in cosplays.
Changing Times in the Gaming Industry
Fast forward to today, the gaming industry is grappling with the challenges brought on by its exponential growth during the pandemic. The launch of Xbox Series X/S and PS5 did not feature the traditional celebrity-filled red carpets. However, the memories of the golden era, when celebrities graced gaming events, still linger.
