After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we're approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years.
Over the next few months, we'll be sharing more details about our launches coming later this year, including World of Warcraft: The War Within and Diablo IV's first expansion, Vessel of Hatred. To celebrate these upcoming releases and to bring our communities together in new and special ways, we will soon share some exciting plans for other industry trade shows and conventions like Gamescom. We can't wait to tell you more about those plans soon. We're also looking forward to the Overwatch Champions Series' stops at both Dreamhack Dallas and Dreamhack Stockholm. And we're thrilled to be planning multiple, global, in-person events to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Warcraft, which will be held in addition to the in-game celebrations across our Warcraft games throughout 2024. While these events are distinct from BlizzCon, we're harnessing all of our creativity and imagination to ensure that they carry the same spirit of celebration and togetherness.
Our hope is that these experiences – alongside several live-streamed industry events where we'll keep you up to date with what's happening in our game universes – will capture the essence of what makes the Blizzard community so special.
No matter how you choose to connect with us at these events this year – whether it be in person or virtually – we can't wait to see you there!
My guess that it's a combination of low interest, having nothing to show, and microsoft not liking live events, even though it's the 20th anniversary of WoW. I haven't been excited for a Blizzard release since Overwatch anyway.

Does blizzard even have “fans” anymore? Even people still playing WoW and Overwatch seem to hate blizzard so I can't imagine them spending time/money to fly out to some convention

There's people who've been playing WoW for 20 years and always go to BlizzCon. I know a few of them they don't even like other video games it's weird.

I do find mmo people really weird since they literally do not follow any other videogame or bother trying anything new, they just want to slop up more of their mmo regardless of quality.

They make the furry ones sexy and thats the only thing left at this point.
Remember at the beginning of Shadowlands when that shitty Garrosh cutscene came out? The xir who made it went on Twitter to
about xir's resource allocation for the job, and nobody seemed to notice or care that they were a furry porn commission artist. It's just background noise to them.

They feel like elaborate phone games nowadays where the purpose is to string you along with loot drops rather than having actually interesting game mechanics.
Overwatch is something similar trying to addict you with the ranking system and loot.
They haven't made anything interesting from a gameplay perspective for a long time. I doubt anyone there atm even has the ability to make an interesting game.

Most modern games feel like they're trying to bait you into running on their infinite slop treadmill and coaxing a few dollars out of you every step of the way. Very sad to watch.

The funny thing is that if the game is fun, people will stick around on the treadmill paying out for stuff regardless. Despite that, its easier for psychologists to design the game to be addicting rather than finding the vague balance that makes something "fun."

None of the diablos were ever really challenging. They're just fun little time wasters, which doesn't make them bad games, but if you're looking for mechanically rigorous gameplay it's the wrong fit.
This is like complaining that Civilization isn't action packed enough.

Hardcore was pretty cool in D2, until someone with a ton of hacks joined your game, teleported to you in 5 seconds, and got you killed.

Hardcore is r-slurred in basically any game. It's a strictly neurodivergent way to play the game, like speed running.

tbh I remember really having fun playing magicka with friends. There was some spell called "crash to desktop" and when we discovered it we probably spent the next 20 minutes crashing each other's games.
Then we discovered you could just use the magic combo "earth earth earth earth earth" or something and it created a gigantic, slow-moving boulder that one-shot just about anything.
Definitely not a difficult game by any means but an excellent game to play while drinking with your friends.

How is furry capitalist? The fandom is based almost exclusively around content and characters created by members. The artwork and costumes are made within the community. The conventions are nonprofit, and give heavily to charities. Furry culture is heavily socialist, my dude.

Probably not much to announce? Though I've seen a lot of news on the new WoW expansion. Really interesting that WoW is doing the best of all the blizz games at the moment. I played the most recent expansion a bit and it was really good. I think they made a shitload of money during lockdown (though the expansion during COVID was pretty shit) so the expansion right after it was actually good.
