It is thanks to returning and new sponsors at ID@Xbox, PlayStation, TapTap, Oculus, Tencent, Unreal Engine, Oasis Games, and Kickstarter, as well as key partners such as iam8bit, Pixio, Gigabyte/AORUS and Astro, that the MEGABOOTH remains a sustainable ecosystem for indie dev teams. In addition to the companies mentioned, past Indie MEGABOOTH exhibitors - also known as IMB Alumni - contributed to the Indie MEGABOOTH Alumni Fund to pay it forward to the indie newcomers showcasing at PAX West.
