Re: [linuxgames] Game Developers Conference



What really is the reason for charging silly amounts of money for an expo?
I've never understood that. A normal small fee, like a movie ticket, would
be just fine.





I could be wrong, but maybe to make sure only serious commercial game 
developers/researches can attend?  Imagine if everyone could get in. You 
 would have 10 year old children running around like they were at CES 
or E^3.

That is why I can't attend. It is too much money to spend when I don't 
have more than a game development hobby that has been on hold due to 
school and such.  It is too bad, but there are always International Game 
Developer Association meetings. I am sure one is near your town...then 
again, I am in Chicago, IL and someone drove from another state to get 
to our meetings because his city's group is horrible.
