"The gaming landscape has changed with the emergence of mobile gaming. More individuals, across all demographics, now have the ability to play games whenever and wherever," said Orange Juice Gaming, YouTube Gaming Creator with 1.77M subscribers. "One large aspect of gaming is the community that gamers belong to. YouTube has changed gaming as it has allowed individuals to share their experience with likeminded people across the world. Events and tournaments connect passionate players and build strong communities."
VidCon this year is not a traditional convention. This year it is a virtual experience, lasting through the summer which will feature plenty of creators and their work. The event isn’t limited to esports or even gaming as VidCon looks to feature a diverse roster of creators.
Celebration of Mobile Gaming will premiere at 2 pm on August 27th EST (2 am on 28th August SGT) on the VidCon YouTube channel.
