Seems they want you to give a LOT of information. WAYYYYY too much...

As to concerts/comedy routines: I stopped being interested when they all got uppity about recordings(video/pictures...some places even make you put your devices in special bags to prevent you from using them) due to them wanting to squeeze every extra dime from their customers.

So don't?

I really don't even see what Blizzard would have to offer this year anyway after the gong show of the previous.

Sadly some have no willpower and will go regardless(They already sold out afaik), and those sales will influence the next cons/etc.

Just like using smart phones and buying games with shitty, predatory monetization policies.

Sadly this

vid goes into detail about it

Did they really sell out of tix? damn
Is it possible some 3rd party bought all them to resell? And then Blizz can claim they sold out lol.

Scalpers?

some people love blizzard so much they would sacrifice there personal data

Uh, are you ok? What is "having willpower" in the context of choice in entertainment? If it's still worth it, they pay and go. If it isn't, they stay home. (It's the same with DRM in games, etc.) The word no meaning: you could also say it takes more of that mythical "willpower" to persevere and go instead of "giving up", refunding and staying home.

For sure this year it'll be shorter since they'll skip the Q&A from the public during the shows....

there will be a wow expansion announcement thats probably why alotto f people go, i always buy the virtual ticket

I have never been to blizzcon and have no reason to start now, not that i care since i've not liked any Blizzard games in almost 2 decades now.

WoW and Diablo still have hordes of loyal followers no matter how big of a mess the previous Blizzcon was. And I guess a good many of them still hope, that Blizzard will clean what they messed up last time.
