There are fewer and fewer events focused on specific games or companies. There are conferences, especially those focused on brands, but not events. Places where fans can gather, share their passion, ask questions, and feel like they are in a place made just for them, for a few days<\/strong>. A common occurrence during the 00s, which was lost in the 10s, and today seems impossible.<\/p>\n\n

One of the few events that had resisted was the Blizzcon. An annual event dedicated to all Blizzard games, which started in 2005, and that brought together fans and developers for a weekend of conferences, announcements, talks, and all kinds of activities<\/strong>. Something that seems to be that we may end up losing forever.<\/p>\n\n\n

This week it has been confirmed that there will be no Blizzcon in 2024<\/a>. While Blizzard has stated that their intention is to hold multiple physical events worldwide and showcase what they are working on at other events, for many it is not the same. And that is the question that has arisen after this announcement. What did Blizzcon mean to its fans?<\/strong> Even more importantly, is it possible that if there were no more Blizzcon it would not necessarily be a negative thing? The answer to this is not as easy as it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n

Although it may not seem like it, the disappearance of Blizzcon could be good news. Blizzard is now part of Microsoft. In terms of announcements and exposure, they now have a bigger engine with their new parent company taking care of marketing, which makes Blizzcon less relevant<\/strong>. They could even split into those promised multiple events, which could take place in different parts of the world. Because without the need to be a major hub for their announcements, they could simply be events where fans gather to celebrate their games.<\/p>\n\n\n
