This is true, but you're talking about a videogame con conflicting with a comic con. Yes, they cross each other somewhat fanbase-wise, but it's not like CGE is conflicting with another videogame-con. If they had to schedule around every other event that drew those kinds of numbers on the West Coast, then they'd have to schedule around NASCAR races, pro football games, RPG cons, SCA events, Renn Faires, etc. Pretty talk order, unless CGE were held Jan. 12 from midnight to 4 a.m. Also, one event is in San Diego, CA, the other is in Las Vegas, NV. If CGE were being held in CA again at the same time, then I could REALLY understand the perceived clash. But I digress. It's a shame, yes, but you seem to be taking it personally, as you've posted your lament in both threads.
