BlizzCon 2012 is No More - Users Not Happy
Blizzard disappointing fans and people who like to mock, at the same time!
Collectors of Cos-Play pix, fans of Blizzard Games, and people who like to mock fans of Blizzard games, prepare to be disapppointed big-style as Blizzcon 2012 has been killed.
That's right, (Activision) Blizzard's conference-a-bhition-a-PR event has been canned for this year and will next occur in 2013.
The official word is:
"We're also heavily focused on getting Diablo III, Mists of Pandaria, and Heart of the Swarm into players’ hands as soon as possible. In light of our jam-packed schedule, we’ve decided to hold the next BlizzCon in 2013."
That came at the foot of some news about.... "Blizzard Entertainment is proud to announce the 2012 Battle.net World Championship, a major global eSports event featuring some of the best pro-gaming competition in the world. Slated to take place in Asia toward the end of 2012, the Battle.net World Championship will host this year’s StarCraft II and World of Warcraft Arena World Championship tournaments. Blizzard gamers and eSports fans from around the world will be invited to attend and witness some of the most skilled pro players on the planet battle it out for cash and glory."
The news has resulted in some upset in the community. The first comment on the Battle.net site summing much of that upset up: "this announcement should have been earlier, so many people have started their costumes already," said Fuglypump.
While a user called Flagge went the financial conspiracy route with, "Looks like Blizz is attempting to save money after losing over a million WoW subs in the past year."
