Anyhow, I hope whatever the outcome, that whomever buys the convention, focuses on GenCon, as opposed to the other add-ons, which seemed to cause the issues that GenCon is now suffering, and this tradition in gaming keeps going on. |
Given that this this rumor is reporting that the sale will be for several million dollars I would suspect that if the deal happens that the buyer is not going to suddenly abandon the hobby game audience.
GenCon has been a stable or thriving show over the past few years and can continue to grow. Even last year, with high gas prices at $4.30 a gallon keeping many at home, the show was pretty packed and reported significant attendance. Even under new ownership I don't see it changing to far from it's current programing.
And yet another word from our sponsors
