“We are taking a close, detailed look at where we fell short and how we can do better moving forward. This comprehensive review and these recommendations will help ensure that we have actionable plans and policies in place to prevent similar events from happening again.”

Co-founder David Lilley told the BBC "increasing costs and less demand for stand space means running events is just not viable for us anymore."

It comes at a difficult time for in-person gaming events across the UK and the gaming industry as a whole.

In September, Insomnia Gaming Festival, the UK's biggest gaming expo, was due to take place in Birmingham, but following a number of lay-offs at its organiser, Player1 Events, tickets never went on sale.

"Now that bigger gaming companies are running their own digital events, there's no reason for them to spend time, money, and resources on being present at in-person events."
