The Indie Megabooth will be going away for a bit.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Indie Megabooth<\/strong> founder Kelly Wallick has announced that, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the showcase will be winding down. The Indie Megabooth, of course, relies on in-person events like PAX and EGX, and those have so far been cancelled.<\/p>\n

Staff will stay on for the remainder of the month, but the Indie Megabooth is being sunset until this crisis is over. <\/p>\n

“After nine years of working on and building the IMB, it was a difficult and disappointing decision to make. Realistically though, we’re a very small team and this situation is bigger than us,” Wallick wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But before IMB hibernates, it’s teaming up with Steam to host a massive sale. The Going Away Sale will be available May 5-12 and feature over 100 games. Developers whose games are included in the sale are free to give back some of the profits to IMB on a ‘pay what you want’ revenue share.<\/p>\n
