In Which I Get Rid of the Pretentious Titles
The titles are starting to annoy even me.
Anyways, Blizzard announced this week the details for their main event, Blizzcon 2010. For the uninitiated, Blizzcon is the yearly event where Blizzard announces what new developments they have planned for their various games. It is also an excuse for Blizzard's designers to meet their consumers, for consumers to ask the designers questions, and for the costume contest!
This always makes me laugh.
If there is one thing that Blizzard is amazing at, it is getting people excited to be a part of the community. I have never personally been, but it has upwards of 15,000 people attending every year. The norm in the business world is to schedule a large number of events across the country, but Blizzard only has one yearly event. I believe the difference is that Blizzard is aware that people use these games as a sort of escape, if they had them even twice a year the overall attendance would plummet because people want a once a year event. If it happens frequently, then the magic is gone, you lose a little bit of immersion.
This year's event will be held in Anaheim, Calif. and I am wondering if I want to break the Stigma and attend :-/
