Your sides are crippled
Do bliz fans just love being paypigs for israelites or something?
Which neckbeard neet can afford $300 (+travel costs of at least $500) for a fricking ticket especially in this economy?
i could, but i aint going;
i want blizzard to collapse
>in this economy?
Don't get me wrong, the economy is fricked, but people who are complaining about economy wouldn't also fare well in a good economy.
yeah but now they are faring worse.
guess thats apparently 60% of americans that are fricked
>60%
Literally impossible. I know the US is not exactly a first world country but come on
>Literally impossible. I know the US is not exactly a first world country but come on
It's acutally 80%
soon to be 90%
Dont take my word for it, do your own research
Shits about to hit the fan soon.
what the frick is wrong with their font
An honest question i ask myself. I dont want to be an prick and say i know better but at least i know im not the only one bothered by it.
>Shits about to hit the fan soon.
Shits hit the fan since the 1970s honestly when the economy was restructured around neoliberal lines around the world. There is a reason Nixon is called "the last liberal president" and why he was removed from office for trying implement a multipolar foreign policy.
The destruction of the Socialist Bloc and implement of this world wide neoliberal world order has been a disaster for the human species.
yeah but most of the people here weren't born around that time
His plan sure as shit sounds stupid now but i don't know if thats the benefit of hindsight or just basic common sense.
A.I is also set to wipe out half of white collar jobs.
>every year is supposedly worse than the last
>continue to have plenty of disposable income
I guess I'm good until society collapses entirely.
>continue to have plenty of disposable income
Bullshit if you can't see your money being worthless and less everytime you head to a grocery store you're blind or moronic
I never claimed inflation doesn't exist only that I continue to have plenty of disposable income regardless. If anything, I have seen an increase an income outpacing recent inflation.
you're single aren't you
_______yes_______
That would explain it/spoiler]
Why, you wanna frick?
>I have seen an increase an income outpacing recent inflation.
He thinks reported inflation rates are the actual inflation rates
Then you have been willfully blind to it anon. Inflation is fricked, and if you paid attention to your grocery bill you will see that too.
Shit is fricked, Im able to weather it was well, but pretending its not there or not as bad as you think it is is hilarious.
This is also why if you are single you dont notice it as much.
all i know is everything is taking at minimum a 25% increase across the damn board.
Food staples that used to never fluctuate have now also risen with everything else. People are even going after cheaper liquor, all these little things are extremely noticeable.
>pretending its not there or not as bad as you think it is is hilarious.
I did neither of those things and it is telling that you came to that conclusion where I only said that I am continuing to do well despite it.
>This is also why if you are single you dont notice it as much.
Uh, dude. I can notice it with fast food or other shit. Just because that other anon is moronic doesn't mean us NEET and no-loves don't notice inflation.
It's over. Pay check to pay check means you have 0 in savings and could be evicted from your residence at any given point in time if you can't cash up.
T W O M O R E W E E K S
Or if they put their saving into 6M treasury, you can still call them living paycheck to paycheck. It non-sense.
dont forget collage loans just kicked back in for the wagies too
the feds are too chicken shit to raise the interest rate high enough for there to be actual repercussions to the economy to fight inflation. we're going to be stuck like this until a large amount of people default on loans and ccs
But anon, that could disproportionally affect people of color!
Paycheck to paycheck is a meaningless, shit metric that only goes up as time goes on due to people being smarter with their money.
Paycheck to paycheck usually means people who don't have like 2 months monthly expenses in their bank account.
That doesn't mean people don't have liquidity. People put their money into the market, boost their 401k, boost their Roth IRA, and still are considered paycheck to paycheck.
If they ever actually needed more money those people could stop making those payments, and even then, could start pulling from some of these pools, like index funds they have invested in, or nowadays robinhood just pays you interest for keeping funds with them (and it's totally insured). If you use that robinhood service, if you had a million dollars in there, you'd still be paycheck to paycheck, even if a transfer is a button press away.
Paycheck to paycheck means nothing.
Americans think Pink Tax exist, what makes you think they know how to keep track of their money.
dont worry, it gets you early access to the blizzcon store where you can waste hundreds more dollars on stupid bullshit
The hardest MMO addicts with no life prospects were still going to BlizzCon back in the late 00's, during muh great recession, and the event sold out every year within seconds of the tickets going live.
>this economy
what are you talking about?
i dont know why people act like suddenly they wouldnt have money
seems weird as frick how people are talking up like its the end of the world, and literally nothing happened but cutting the fat of companies to get better profits
>what are you talking about?
NTA, but the increased cost of living (grocery, housing, etc.) without an equivalent increase in wage.
see
man the anons here are really out of touch with the world
Have you ever seen how much artist commissions costs?
Why would a NEET care about a convention?
Why would I want to go and meet people when I can chose not to
Probably most of them, I can afford that and I am living in fricking Eastern Europe
>Afford
Stupid people buy shit they can't afford all the time, then cry they live miserable lives because they can't afford food
ECG funds
Exploited
College
Girls
Me, but I guess I'm not a neet, but I am not going since i don't play blizzard ganes.
>neckbeard neet
Their target audience is wealthy neckbeards in fintech
You know that the tickets will sell eventually as the only group coming close to tendies with brand fanaticsm are blizzdrones.
How can morons parrot this dog shit opinion when the n64, GameCube, wii u, and multiple tendie games have failed lol
I never saw Nintendo sell a $300 early access to a store.
Holy shit blizzardgays got their taste back? It's a christmas miracle.
>pay 800 dollars to get special treatment to watch commercials
it's like a timeshare seminar in reverse
I wouldn't pay $299 for their entire library let alone to attend one of their shitty cons.
>blizz"con"
ahhhhhh I get it now
Heh
jej
aayy
the 799 option should come with a cosplayer dressed up as your Favorite Blizzard prostitute that pretends to like you for the weekend.
dude i was just thinking these look like escort prices, except youre the one thats getting fricked.
>Garithos? Who's that again?
>recession
>shell of a once great company shilling microtransactions in person with nogs and troons literally everywhere
if hell existed it would be that
We are now in the find out stage of captialism. A bunch of corporations said "hey, that whole pandemic thing means we can raise prices right?" and no one raised wages, so now corps are confused why people who have the same amount of money as before, are buying less when everything's more expensive
>a childs view of economics, by anon.
Those are music festival prices. The frick are they smoking?!
It used to include a concert with some pretty high profile bands, like Metallica. Not sure if it still does though, and if it did it would probably be for some homosexual shit.
>pretty high profile bands
>like Metallica
Kek, at least you said "pretty"
I mean I don't listen to them these days, but if you ask someone who Metallica is, they will know.
Based Phil's gonna go up on stage and tell everyone how much he loves WoW and Diablo and that he'll invest so much money into those franchises etc etc
what's even funnier is the ticket scalpers can't find anyone to buy
>ticket scalpers
What the frick?
No way that's true.
>No way that's true.
Scalpers are fricking idiots, why would it not be true. You forget the images of dumb scalpers smuggly showing off giant collections of WIIU's back in the day.
Or how Super Mario 3D All-Stars ended up being made in ridiculous numbers and scalpers can only NOW start to BARELY sell them for above MSRP.
I can believe it. If they sell outside the convention area during the event, they could still possibly sell em, but I doubt selling 'em online would be fruitful lol
Well if regular tickets are still available that's hardly surprising.
you cant scalp digital tickets because they are tied to your ID
Holy based. Ticket scalpers are the worst scums of the earth. Bobby Kotick wins again.
Not being sold out is a good news. But some brainlets are still buying these piece of crap is a bad news
you pay $800 just to watch blizzard trailers in a booth with alcohol
$300 is way too much. They are a multibillionaire company, they can afford the cost of a convention.
And WoW is the last hyped blizzard game, OW is dead, HS is dead, Diablo is almost dead
Who the frick is hyped for WoW? The past three expansions have been increasingly horrible disasters.
>Who the frick is hyped for WoW?
People always want to know what's coming next in WoW. The new expansion/final patch is always big news and the talk of the town.
After Dragonflight? I couldn't care less. Even Shadowlands held my interest for a few months, with Dragonflight I played on launch night for a few hours, and then didn't touch it for about four days. Then I forced myself to come back to finish the campaign. After that, I cancelled and left forever. The game is offensively shitty at this point.
>anon literally forcing himself to play a game when he doesn’t have to
>this somehow makes it bad
You can just say you love wow.
I just wanted to finish the campaign, and put it to bed. That first night I had gotten through the ice zone, whatever that was called, so there was only the desert area and the final zone. Little did I know that the worst was yet to come, and I had to spend about an hour helping out a dragontroon Pixar character.
Agree. Even though I never played DF, I still was curious about it. There are things they can do to reel me back in though I have 0 (actually) hope they'll do it.
>Remove mythic+ and mythic raiding (heroic max difficulty)
>Back to being metal
>Remove world quest
>Remove lockout on old raids
>New design for stats on gear for fun and not balance
>Classic AV style bg
>All dungeon design like BRD
>Mass GM hiring
>No more GDKP
>revamping trade system to make all RMT irrelevant, bankrupting china and brazil in the process
Just a few things. The problem with wow however comes from the fact I want them to remove stuff. They fricked the game so hard many of my above points would be needed for me to reconsider subbing.
>Remove mythic
>Remove world quest
>New design for stats
>No more GDKP
>revamping trade system
Least moronic WoW poster.
>300 ballers for a drawstring bag
nty
300 united states dollars for the chance to enter a store early and spend even more money on trivial goyslop shit why this is a STEAL
Inflation is fricking the average Amerigoy sideways, even the most brain dead npc is starting to act more frugally and starting to question every purchasing decision in terms of need vs want.
>Going to Blizzcon
>$299
>$799
If you go there, especially if you pay for it, you are the literal joke of the gaming community. Just imagine someone would record the faces of people who go there. You couldn't show your face in public again "Oh, I saw this dude on the Blizzcon. What a totally cuck. Has he no integrity at all? I bet you could ask him to give you money and he would."
Blizzard finally killed off the normies
Imagine paying three hundred dollars to see a corpse of a company
Anyone ever go to BlizzCon during the height of World of Warcraft? What was it like? I always wanted to go but I was like 16 when Burning Crusade was out.
I love to watch the expansion reveal video with the crowd reactions. That's all I know about the blizzcon.
While not the height I went when I was 17 when cata was announced since I live 30min from the convention center. Remember being pissed that goblins were announced. Was ok. Nothing spectacular. Still have my marine figure that they gave out.
Can't imagine fricking flying to anaheim for that shit even back then
That dog deserved to get bamboozled.
God, who still pays to go there? Maybe if you're lucky, your California rental car can get broken into, while Blizzard shows dead games.
>paying a company so that they can advertise to you
I will never understand corporate conventions like this. Outside of the panels and announcements (all of which you can just see online), what else is there that you're paying for? Merch?
There was a time when people were fond enough of Blizzard that it was nice just to see the panels, and interact with other players. Now everyone hates the game, hates Blizzard, and hates the other players.
You're just there to enjoy being in the company of people with similar interests. It's the same as basically any con. What do people do at the big Star Trek conventions?
>What do people do at the big Star Trek conventions?
The difference being most of those conventions are around 50-100 bucks a ticket instead of Blizzard's 300+
its definitely inflated now, but its mostly just because there used to be valuable stuff like beta keys and collectors items. Now no one cares about that shit.
paying $300 just to be in the presence of other fat sweaty NEETs doesn't seem like a good deal
This
These companies should be paying ME to attend their shitty conferences
Even then I'd consider not going.
But who will purchase that 400% marked up aliexpress trash if you won't anon?
Stay at home and watching my favourite streamer react to it for FREE lol
Imagine the amount of snacks you could buy for just a fraction of this price.
Will they do a breast milky panel?
It's at the lounge duh. Why else would the VIP tickets be $800? The 'employee meet and greet' is just code for blizzard letting you get your milk from the tap.
Bros what the frick, my cosplay
Obviously that has nothing to do with China and She Bling Bing.
Oh yeah I forgot that was a thing. And yet it's still banned. shame.
How silly. Thats like if somebody would ban cosplaying as a monkey or a court jester.
Nah, you can pretend it isn't, but that particular cosplay is an obvious dog whistle.
They're not stupid, they will frick you up if you insist on displaying that kind of racism.
but racism is based
It's cringe and banned. It's something you have to hide because you are too ashaed of it in public.
>It's something you have to hide because you are too ashaed of it in public.
but Im not. Im literally the ceo of racism
Lying on the internet is cringe as well.
here a pic of me as proof
I don't think anyone would have to hide wearing a Winnie the Pooh costume. There's nothing racist about it.
You're probably right Muttley.
It doesn't take any courage to be racist to people who don't punch back.
You are legitimately a member of the CCP, aren't you? The Winnie the Pooh meme is a meme about Xi himself. Am I "hurting the feelings of 1.3 billion people"?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurting_the_feelings_of_the_Chinese_people
Bill Cosby cosplays are allowed though, right? A box of puddin pops goes great with breast milk.
>Bill Cosby cosplays
That's not a dog whistle for anything. Why are you still pretending you don't know about your own dog whistles?
Nobody wants to be openly racist against blacks who punch back
Ganker is only racist towards people who are too weak to harm them.
Explain to me how winnie the pooh is a racist dog whistle
It's just making fun of the leader of china for his homosexualry
Are you some kind of communist chink?
GlowBlack person pops up hours late, pretending he doesn't know about his organisation's own memes
Slopy job Muttley
Winnie the Pooh is insulting the Xi Jinping specifically. It's like calling Trump a cheeto, or Biden sleepy. Are you a legitimate CCP shill?
Wow, you caught me anon.
My pointing out that winnie the pooh isn't a racist dogwhistle is all part of the CIA's elaborate plan to uh...
Muttley is desperate to hide the fact that his own organisation invented these memes for geopolitical info war against the Asian continent.
>links to his own Muttwiki propaganda as if nobody knows
You're crying about racism while calling others mutts. I'm really surprised. You're either a schizo, or there's an actual member of the Chinese Communist Party here on Ganker.
I think it's a deranged HAPA
Seriously, what the frick WAS this? That's not normal Ganker shitposting. That feels like actual astroturfing.
Muttley is still butthurt an hour later.
He is unsatisfied with the way things ended, Muttley didn't like the fact that his glowBlack person organisation is widespread knowledge on Ganker.
Well you stopped responding when I called you out. You're very weird.
When the chink shills show up hit em with this. Supposedly the great firewall will kick in and shut off their internet.

Is this still a thing? Why should they even give a frick after the chinese break up last year?
They might still get a chance ater microshit buys them. And they still have immortal in china which is ironically their most profitable game at the moment despite sharing revenue with netease, apparently.
They broke up with a company not the country
anon, every company in china is essentially owned by the CCP
they are inseparable
>every company in china is essentially owned by the CCP
But anon, that's how it is in EVERY country. Twitter is owned by the USA. Facebook is owned by the USA. The media is state run media. Exon Mobile and Raython are why we are in the middle east. etc.
So uhhh....do Blizzard fans at these cons do any cool shit like sticker slap winnie the poo stickers or posters on the con grounds, or are they full-on pussy boys?
Think about the kind of homosexual that would pay $300 to attend a blizzard event.
I thought this was a joke, but holy shit lmao they don't even try to hide it.
For BlizzCon 2005, 2007 & 2008, tickets were set at $100 USD. For BlizzCon 2009, the price was increased by $25 to $125. For BlizzCon 2010, the price was increased by another $25 to $150. For BlizzCon 2011 & 2013, the price was increased by another $25 to $175.
who the FRICK are paying this much for a con ticket? especially in this shitty economy of all things.
This is obviously to ensure only the most hardened of blizzdrones attend. They don't want another red shirt guy situation, now do they?
why do blizzdrones go to these? blizzard hasn't made a good game in over a decade.
plus tax, online convenience fee, booking fee, email ticket delivery charge, cancellation insurance and tip
God they cost how much ? I thought this shit was free for all, come in if you want kind of thing.
Let me get it straight, people actually payed to enter hall where bunch of corp homosexuals shill their products ?
Does this mean that one video with is this april fools joke for diablo mobile, all those people in hall payed to get in ?
Bwahahahaha
how have you never been to any kind of event anywhere
Because they never fricking are in eastern eu. I dont even go to concerts or festivals if they ask for entry fees.
Frick that shit, unless the artist are half-homeless and starving they dont produce anything their soul is in.
>paying for clowns if you are not king
Is there ANYTHING to look forward to at Blizzard? Amongus is a better MMO than WoW at this point, Hearthstone is IMBA as shit and Diablo is P2W.
Do they own CoD? Is there a new one coming out about killing Ruskies to get the sois riled up?
Why would you want to meet Blizzard employee's? Thats weird. Thats like wanting to meat a famous person's make up artist or manager.
>paying $299 to get molested
When I was 12 in my wow guild in 2004, I used to make fun of people being autistic enough to pay to go to a Blizzard convention. And that was when Blizzard still had some reputation left.
Can't even imagine what kind of person you'd have to be too go in current year.
going to conventions is pretty awesome if youre really a fan, and if you're young its god tier
>I used to log in to the MMO I paid a monthly sub for and call people in the guild I was a member of autistic

>tfw ywn pay $800 to be aggressively marketed to for a weekend
Don't forget the passive aggressive insults

>300 for basic ticket

>Blizzard
Hmm, i wonder?
Pretty sure the prices were similar last blizzcon and it sold out quite fast.
>early convention entry
uh what the frick?
It says Blizzcon, but Blizzard doesn't exist anymore. So why would people go?
Jesus christ, most cons around here are about 50 to 100 (CAD) and that's an insane markup on the VIP passes
I said this previously, but who the frick is even a fan of Blizzard currently? Back then, during the Diablo 2 era, yeah, but now? What is there even to do over there vs your normal con?
>paying 300 bucks to be shilled a dying company's slop
>early access to buy more cheap garbage
I'm so glad Blizzard is irrelevant now, not even D4 could save them from their own stupidity
hopefully the blizzcon will go down just like all the other cons are going down
>why aren't they sold out yet?
Because the release date of this is the best thing that will be announced
>Because the release date of this is the best thing that will be announced
They don't even have that anymore...
When was the last time blizzard did something good?
Dragonflight
Warcraft III, 20 years ago
WoW Mists of pandaria
HOTS
Initial overwatch
That's pretty much it. Diablo 2 remaster would I say but it wasnt even blizzard
Holy shit you can buy 4 and 10 vidyas with that money. And you'll only be coming for.... what games do they even have that's worth waiting for these days.
Didn't some Chinese Blizzard convention get btfo by a 2hu convention it was sharing the building with a year or two ago? I sort of remember hearing about it. Dunno how popular Blizzard even is over there, so it might not be that surprising.
Unrelated Monhun crossover pic
>paying any money

>in the year 2023
>Convention to advertise your products
>Charge obscene amount of money and don't even provide free food and drink
>generally sell out of tickets
They know their audience
what are they even going to announce? ow2 is disliked, d4 is dead, wow is irrelevant, hots is dead
Paypigs dropped WoW and moved to mobile games for their fix of grindy shit with long term account progression. Gacha shit is the same dopamine rush as killing bosses or monsters for rare drops. The overlap between gachagays and mmogays is ridiculous.
>private concessions
I accept your concession
>first year they make Blizzcon free to watch
>surprised the tickets aren't sold out
Also Blizz has bombed everything they've released since Legion outside of Classic/Hardcore Classic, and neither of those were even their idea and were based solely off player demand.
So, maybe listen to your fricking players?
HEY YOU KNOW HOW LITERALLY EVERY GAME WE RUN IS DEAD, DYING OR A COMPLETE FRICKING DISASTER??

Pretty sure for that amount you can frick a pornstar for the night
True idk how many escort you've all seen(I'm a connoisseur) but that's generally the price range.
I went to the first few Blizzcons and they were a lot of fun, amazing times.
Now you couldn't pay me to go.
Imagine willingly going to a convention that exists only to celebrate how stupid you are for giving money to Activision-Blizzard.
even music festival tickets are fricking cheaper. what do they think they are? gods?
they are gods chosen

This site is 18+.
Then why are you here
>30-40k people at a covention
>maybe a dozen cases of people getting overly drunk and doing weird shit and getting kicked out
>WE MUST BAN ALCOHOL TO MAKE OUR CONVENTION SECURE FOR EVERYONE
It's fricking insane. They used to serve all sorts of alcohol that was themed around their games. They are such virtue signaling cucks now, it's pathetic.
Because of the internet, if one thing happens, it gets a news article, and it becomes representative, even if there are 40,000 other people.
For instance activision blizzard has like 10,000 employees, but one person complains about another mom accidentally taking the wrong breast milk out of the fridge and now it's considered some endemic thing within the entire company.
I've gone to enough cons to support an alcohol ban, nothing good ever comes out of morons getting drunk at 3AM
Because we know why it's banned.
DUDE ALCOHOL LMAO
Alcohol is for idiots who the frick cares.
Who cares? You shouldn't be drinking that goyslop anyway.
It's just blizzard taking precautions against themselves.
>$800 ticket gives you the opportunity to meet a Blizzard employee
Why in the FRICK would I ever want to do that? I don't want to be molested
Don't worry anon, unless you're pregnant you won't get molested.
Finally Digimon World 5
Who on earth?
300$ would get you a hooker and some food for both to doze off.
Blizzdrones deserve the rope.
What in the frick are these prices
Really interesting PR strategy to act like this is some kind of recent decline
Blizzard didn't get "worse," they've been just as fricking awful as this for over a decade now.
The writing was on the wall when they split SC2 into three separate $60 releases.
The writing was on the wall when they turned WoW into a shitty gear treadmill and mount grind with Wrath
The writing was on the wall when they released a fricking Diablo game where you could buy drops as a microtransactions
It's been this shitty for a very long time, you would have to be a legitimate knuckle-dragging moron to be a Blizzard "fan" post-2009
>you would have to be a legitimate knuckle-dragging moron to be a Blizzard "fan" post-2009
2005**
But yes, point remains the same.
>with Wrath
So we're going to ignore TBC entirely then? Ok.
They advertised this to me twice when I booted up the Blizz client. No thanks, seems very desperate.
I remmeber when the tickets would be sold out first day. Now it's weeks later and still struggling.
I can buy a new cpu with 300 why the frick would i spend it on a troonycon
I think it might be because Blizzard has been putting out horrible games for decades like World Of Warcraft 52, Diablo 3, Warcraft 3 Reforged, Diablo Immortal, Overwatch 2, and Diablo 4.
The worst part is Diablo Immortal is their cash cow now, it's all they are focusing on. So they will continue making shit phone games and PC games will sagenite and die.
Blizzard has been dead since 2005 when Blizzard North (the good Blizzard) died after D2:LoD released.
Only literal shit eaters continued to support Blizzard and even THEY are tired of zombie-"Blizzard"'s turds at this point and they don't even get TITTY MILK at the con like Zombie Blizzard's employees did.
Does the Portal Pass grant access to the Cosby Suite?
Why would anyone pay these prices? Are PCgays really this moronic?
>Why would anyone pay these prices?
Apparently no one did, so your question is entirely hypothetical.
Of course. they are pioneers.

Literally what is there to look forward to from Blizzard? Them fricking up Diablo some more? Fricking up WoW? Fricking up Overwatch?
Red Shirt kek coming back and asking them if Diablo 4 was an out of season April Fools joke.
After D4 nobody wants anything to do with Blizzard. It was unironically their last chance to redeem themselves and look how that turned out.
They sold millions of copies
And nobody plays it anymore because it's a steaming pile of shit. D4 was the last nail on the coffin.
mrllamasc sums up Diablo 4 and why it was a disaster. Let me sum up the video:
>devs completely dropped all talk about game mechanics in 2021-2023
>it was rushed out unfinished
>itemization sucks
>alot of bugs/fixs they said will take months if not years to fix
>due to it be rushed all the mechanics that were already bad were dumbed down to it's most based form and skill tree is literally the most linear straight line ever
Nothing was rushed, the morons didn't have clear vision for the game since day 1 and changed devs and direction like 2 times during development. They just shipped a garbage product because they couldn't do any better and realized it would be better to just deliver the undercooked slop than cancel it. But not even blizzhype could save them this time.
unironically went to two blizzcons (2008 and 2011)
people saying you need to be autistic to go are virgin zoomers. They were so fricking fun back in the day, all day hanging with your bros and just having a laugh. Evenings were big meets at bars nearby or just around the convention centre. I think I fricked like two women a day (at least 5 per weekend) at each blizzcon. One foursome with two Hispanic girls and a bro.
It's the only place I can imagine making small talk with some goth chick at 4pm about your tauren warrior main will get you balls deep in every hole she has before dinner.
I'm old enough to call you out on the fact that all those goth chicks were fatties. Nothing impressive about slaying fat pussy
300 bones to see announcement for new seasonal content for Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 and a low chance to bear witness to the next out of season April Fool's joke.
For 300 dollars you can buy a whole ass Steam Deck or 4.3 brand new 70 dollars AAA games.
They should just roll Blizzcon into a full out MS conference. Might actually justify their laughable prices.
That is a great idea. They can give xgp user 50% off and call xgp is a great deal for a decade.
Is commiefornia still pushing masks at events or no
Too expensive
I didnt even want to go when i enjoyed blizzard because everytime i found someone who liked a blizz game that wasnt korean they were a fricking idiot.
People only ever cared about Blizzcon for WoW and people don't care about WoW anymore.
Why does that shit cost more than a concert ticket
apart from the fact there is absolutely nothing for them to unveil?
if they do announce their new ip I will fricking kill myself
amerimutts really pay 300$ plus tip just to see some advertisements
WoWs not been good in 10 years.
Diablos never been good till years after launch
Hearthstone dead
Overwatch is dead, OWL was always dead just viewbotted to hell and astroturfed
Warcrafts dead
Only the most pathetic morons are clinging onto this dead company and buying their games.
I could attend a Wrestling PPV at a very good seat for that money and I wouldn't be advertised to.
>$300 to attend a convention
>doesn't cover travel or accommodations or food
>they put "access to all halls" like allowing you to see the convention you paid $300 to get into is a "perk"
>the other perk is the privilege to spend even more money before anybody else at the convention store (wait, if this is just the general admission tier, who are you getting in ahead of to be considered 'early'?)
>literally the only free swag is a fricking backpack that probably cost less than $20 wholesale
>$800 version just gives you access to a "lounge" that probably doesn't even have an open bar
>oh and you can meet blizzard employees... no word on which employees, so probably not anybody important or famous or interesting
Who would spend money on this besides people who have too much money and are desperate to get rid of it?
Blizzard still thinks it's 2009, and they're the hottest shit ever.
Because everyone wanting to rush to get them were the reason the first batch sold out, second batch has always taken days to sell out. Blizzcon will be packed to the attendance maximum and you can keep coping over that.
prices must be too low so people think it'll be a trashy event.
Why is this shit still a thing, I thought it finally got killed alongside E3. What do they even have to show, they have nothing, no new game for any of their existing IP for sure, or any new extension. Everyone hates all of their recent games, they just killed Overwatch esport like 2 days ago. Is this the most costly public circlejerking convention of all time, do they even remember how fricking humiliating was the last time they did Blizzcon with the diablo immortal shit.
They're going to show a new WoW expansion. They show one every other year.
I don't play WOW but is it this early ? I thought it was one every 2 years starting teasing 1.5 years through. Why even would they do that marketing thing with Chris Metzen then, if he just came back to the company and they announce an expansion that early that means he did frick all in terms of writing for this new one.
They've consistently shown a WoW expansion at every other Blizzcon. A WoW expansion comes every other year. It's been like that since Burning Crusade. Metzen is likely doing the writing for that expansion, and maybe, MAYBE is doing something for the final patch of Dragonflight.
>Chris "my daughter said bikini armor is not okay" Metzen is doing the writing
>The guy behind Cata, WoD, and StarCraft 2
Such an improvement
WoW is saved
>Chris "my daughter said bikini armor is not okay" Metzen is doing the writing
Chris is a classic case of a Gen Xer, who was all heavy metal, and breasts, and violence, hitting their 40s, feeling that drop in testosterone, and deciding they need to "mature."
Was he making her wear bikini armor when they're alone?
>spend hundreds of dollars being surrounded by sweaty neckbeards all day just to watch some trailers.
Id rather watch the trailers in the comfort of my own home.
What are you talking about? Blizzard sold out years ago.
Oh wait, you mean their convention.
Muttley's backup proceeds to spam his glowBlack person propaganda folder as predictable as ever.
you were complaining about winnie the pooh being a racist dog whistle and here you are calling people Black folk
Muttley now pretends he doesn't know what glowBlack person means.
And he thinks people on Ganker won't know if he pretends to not know.
Soulless bug really thinks feds are the only ones who clown on chinksects and xinnie the poo. I laugh every time.
Who in their right mind would pay 299USD to see Blizzard games at this late stage? Diablo IV alone should warn people against having even the slightest hope for their bullshit.
Holy shit. How about you pay me instead to go to your stupid con?
i can just watch Metzencon from the comfort of my home
I always found the price for blizzcon shocking even when they were at the peak of popularity and good favor. Paying $300 to watch some trailers and buy some merch you can get online anyway?
It's not like it's a fan con where there's 80 things to do. It's like paying to go to disneyland to stand in the lines.
I better get a complimentary tugjob from one of the female staff attending the con in the VIP lounge for a jack in the price that high what the frick
does con cosplay sex even happen? because prettty much that's the only reason to go nowadays.
Really only at the after parties or when people go out to bars near the con/at the hotel after in my experience
>give use $300 plus tax and well let you buy our plastic crap before everyone else on Thursday!
holy shit
>General Admission is $300
>Get an official Blizzcon backpack
>$800 VIP pass
>Get to meet schmucks on the dev team
>Private views of new content
>Jack offs pay $300 dollary doos to go to a WoW convention.
Kek, I hope that $300 backpack is worth $300, better be bejeweled. I've been to a handful of anime conventions and the admission never cost me $300. If you factor in what those people will spend on hotel, food, and other expenses, plus the admission fee, that's gotta be easily $1,000+.
>Early convention entry
>Lounge only
Kek, you can only go inside early to sit in the lounge and mingle with the other fat morons who paid $800 for VIP access.
>private viewing lound
Heard you get to watch the Diablo 4 dev team dilate.
