Our Take
If you're wondering, "What the heck is MomoCon?" you're not alone. It's been around for 11 years now, starting as a campus event at Georgia Tech with 700 people to a show that attracted more than 15,000 attendees last year. It's cool to see indie developers are becoming a bigger part of MomoCon, especially when they're behind these top-tier games.
