Most of us knew this was coming, it was the right decision and good for them for making it clear and early enough. Ya this will hurt the game and set it back, CitizenCon was always a huge event, lets hope they can come up with some sort of social media, virtual whatever you want to call it so we can still get our SC junkie fix.

Hopefull they can take all the time and resources spent on CitCon and maybe use it to catch up on stuff being delayed. And have a mini digital celebration in Oct/Nov

 

[NaffNaffBobFace]

A good call, and very well explained in the post - No virtual Cit-Con was what I needed to hear as I was wondering.

I assume the in game Expo willl still go ahead though.

 

[Black Sunder]

I had a feeling this was coming. Nevertheless, I'm glad it was announced this far out so people could cancel plane tickets, hotel reservations, and the like.

 

[DirectorGunner]

I hope it was coming tbh, it would have been a small turn out at best I think. I am relieved they canceled.

 

[Aramsolari]

I didn't wanna hang out with ANY of you guys anyway!!!

'cries in the corner'

In all seriousness. It's expected and for the best. I hope CIG allocates the resources that would otherwise be spent on the Convention wisely.

This bit:

We fully recognize that CitizenCon as an event includes a lot of preparation, savings, travel, and planning on the part of you, the attendees.

If they went ahead only to have to cancel later on...what a disaster that would be, for the attendees...

Cancelling, while sucky, was the best call...

 

[GameFleek]

Any news about VerseCon?

 

[CosmicTrader]

As sad as it is, it is the best decision.
Stay safe everyone......

I know but i was Relay looking forward to it this year

 

[Blind Owl]

Figures, the first year I was able to go...hahaha. In all seriousness though, this is the right call. And kudos to CIG for making the call early. I've been checking the page almost daily, waiting for this. It's actually a relief. I'd rather all of us be safe to meet up in the future...ya know, soon. Ha.

Party at Montoya's!

 

[Blind Owl]

Party at Montoya's!

Fuck yeah!! Home to Vancouver. Woohoo! I can party like it's 1999.

So.
Much.
Partying.

 

[Tealwraith]

I'm just want to buy a 2950 Digital Goodies Pack. It's ok if they leave out the 2950 Citizencon trophy.

 

[SoloFlyer]

WTF is this?! This is un-American, what about my freedom of assembly? #TheCureIsWorseThanTheDisease

seriously though, was the smart move. Hopefully we'll have things under control so next year can go forward

 

[maynard]

we don't need no stinking distractions from game development

I want this game released before I die of old age

[ColdDog]

PUsssi*s... shit is going to be fixed by then. Oh well, I was going to go but I guess ya'll can celebrate.

US is on the job NOT the WHO!

 

[ColdDog]

@Blind Owl do I need to spell it out for you? This is bullshit but fortunately we have some therapeutics in the hopper, so I think they are being PUSS*ES. Run and hide... that is what the world does best.
