Was Eurogamer there? Seems like they should have been invited as well as DualShockers.
I don't think Shibuya Productions ever offered direct invitations to the media.
Monaco is very far from Paris/London so the flight travel is expensive for everyone, especially since MAGIC covered only two ongoing games (Shenmue III and Vampyr). I myself couldn't afford the travel from where I live.
The trip worthed the price especially for mainstream media. Le Monde was there. Canal+ was there too (the same journalist who directed a TV report on Cédric Biscay and Shenmue III some months ago).
