Sadly, Retrograde will no longer be affiliated with the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo. We wish them the best of luck on all their future endeavors!

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to discontinue our affiliation with the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo.

Our experience during the 2025 Expo did not meet our expectations. Several agreed-upon terms were not fulfilled, which had a direct and significant impact on the overall experience of the show, and on our ability to effectively engage with attendees. Additionally, internal challenges among event organizers contributed to operational inconsistencies that ultimately affected both the attendee experience and the overall quality and ex*****on of the event.

Following the show, changes made to key operational staff have raised further concerns regarding continuity, accountability, and the long-term stability of the event. Rather than addressing underlying issues in a transparent and constructive manner, these shifts created uncertainty about how future events would be managed and improved. As a result, we do not feel confident in the event's ability to deliver the level of organization, communication, and attendee-focus that we require in our partnerships moving forward.

We believe in strong partnerships that are built on organization, accountability, and consistent ex*****on. At this time, we do not feel confident that our expectations in these areas are aligned, and as a result, we have chosen to move in a different direction.

We remain committed to supporting and participating in events that provide a high-quality experience for both players and partners, and we look forward to future opportunities that reflect those standards.
