Blizzcon doesn't really represent the same thing it used to though. A lot of the updates, information and release content is generally World of Warcraft centric. Not to mention, Diablo's development team has campfires consistently to dole out news. It may be fun for some but I think the convention style experience for gaming is dwindling sadly. E3 is gone and what remains is companies making announcements via their personal methods. Streamers have access to early content and pre-release content also, so the engagement factor is the only thing Blizzcon has going for it. Just throw a kick-ass party at your own place in November, lol.

They are now doing the same thing with WoW, never before was there a big video release for when Alpha came out for WoW. We got all sorts of videos for the community concerning War With In. This is just a sign of the time with less and less Cons taking place, look at the cancellation of E3 and the big companies doing their own Online Video Events. Regardless how people feel, these things are quite an expense and they are a business in the business of making money, not taking a loss for shits and giggles.

My wife and I went in 2019. Everyone still loved Blizzard (mostly), we were still into World of Warcraft, Diablo IV was announced, Overwatch 2 was announced, Shadowlands was announced...was an exciting year for Blizzard. The voice actor panel was great, the cosplay contest was fun and there were some cool people doing that, being some of the first people to play Diablo 4 was very cool. But, honestly, it was overcrowded and the crowds weren't managed well, it was stupidly expensive, and not really worth the cost of the ticket much less flying halfway across the country to go see. Going to Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland next door was the highlight of a trip that we made specifically to go to Blizzcon. I do feel bad for it being canceled for people that know they wanted to go, but we went on what was probably one of the best years the show had and I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they really, really love all things Blizzard...and, let's be realistic, how many of those are left these days.

Not surprised. I've been to 7 Blizzcon's and last year was far and above the worst. The portal pass in 2019 was $599 and got you into the convention and on the floor an hour before the doors opened to general admission. So you could get a good seat for the opening ceremony or get in a line for something you wanted to do. Last year it was $799 and you could get into the "portal lounge" an hour before the floor opened and the opening ceremony was picked at random and held in the smallest venue it has ever been in. They need to go back to the drawing board for the next one.

The event was already struggle to be done before, also is not only Blizzcon but in general all game conventions after covid just struggled to be done again and fade away. Since they times they were made the attendance was very low and most of the info show there was most of the time reveal beforehand. Probably that's another reason why Blizzcon is just done for since Blizzard doesn't have any new projects and the current games are in such a big hole I doubt Blizzcon will happen again.

Blizzcon and Comic Con were my two reasons for sticking around in California. I loved it so much. The pin trading was a new obsession I didn't know I needed. I bought so many pins for 2024. The live OW league was fun. The diablo 4 exhibit was so cool and all of the cosplay was a blast. It was such a great time. I got my ticket for $99 on a reseller site. So I was pretty happy.

I would say cost has something to do with this as well. I'm part of an association that prior to covid was having monthly lunch/afternoon meetings at our local convention center. Post covid we've cut the meetings to six per year and our expenses are still 40% higher with less attendance. BlizzCon ticket prices are up 50% from 2018 to 2023, they were probably looking at another $50 increase and wondering if people will just stop coming.
