Does YSNET attend Devcom now?
At this point, no.
Is that the developer conference?
devcom is the Developer conference and the successor to the now defunct GDC Europe.
Or the Gamescom public keynote?
devcom will host keynotes targeted at different audiences.
Can people purchase the business pass/VIP pass (at ridiculous prices)
They can, providing the necessary credentials.
Does a press pass allow you into the business area?
Yes, that is the main purpose of the business area, to arrange meetings between publishers and press as well as business-to-business talks and sales.
Is the Devcom press accreditation separate from Gamescom accreditation?
Yup.
Is the Gamescom Congress related to this?
It is rather a Germany-centered range of panels concerning the local games industry.
It says some fans may be granted access to business halls on the Tuesday. How?
This is called the wildcard process. A select bunch of regular visitors will be granted access to gamescom on Media Day.
Wildcards are sold and made available provided you subscribe to the gamescom newsletters. It's basically a raffle.
However, this has always been heavily critisized by both publishers and press, complicating and overcrowding gamescom at their very first day which should be reserved for media professionals.
I could go on but I will leave it there for now.
Yes, gamescom's website is a mess.

Ok, so forget about Devcom, and get a press pass sounds like the plan. I submitted my file for accreditation a couple of days ago so hopefully hear back about that soon.
I suspect with that much info, you are German?
