Good, then I may consider getting it. 40 dollar for watching at a specific time is too much for me. For watching at a later time, it's still much, but better.

A net loss?Considering that BlizzCon still runs at a net loss? Yes, it is.
So if they didn't have a BlizzCon and didn't announce their products they'd end up making more money in the long run?
BlizzCons primary function is to act as a 2 day long advertisement.
People calling $40 dirt cheap for a live stream are delusional, what would be a reasonable price? $100, $200?
I'd say the $40 would be worth it if Blink 182 plays this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoFhiKaq9UQ
Please take a step back and realize how woefully inadequate your metaphor is. To use McDonalds more appropriately, it would be like saying a Combo Meal isn't worth it to you b/c you only like the soda. Well no crap, the combo meal isn't for you then. If they only offered combo meals you would likely not eat there. I'm not even sure you know what point you're trying to make.
That's not what I said. You specifically mentioned that it's ridiculous to pay $40 when you aren't interested in all their games. My response to you is that the price is clearly for someone who wants to watch everything. The price is for the whole value. It's not a $40 price for just WoW content. It's inane to even discuss it on those terms.
BAD WOLF
If you think it's too expensive and not worth your money, don't buy it, you'll see all of it later for free... If you do feel it's worth your money to see it 1st hand, then fork it over, if not then why cry about it?
It costs as much as it did last year? It means its exactly the right price. They would have lowered it if they wanted more people to get access.
Are there other Blizzcons/combo Meals to choose from? Blizzard is the sole creator of Starcraft/WoW and you wont get a BigMac/official Starcraft convention anywhere else then mcdonalds/Blizzcon.
To say that Blizzcon only caters to visitors who like all Blizzard Products is ridiculous pseudo logic.
"If you are no Hearthstone Fan Blizzcon isn't for you too bad." Nonsense wouldn't you agree?
Blizzcon is for People who are interested in any,some or all Blizzard Games which get presented on said Event.

Yes, according to the FAQ:
"On-Demand Replays - Miss an epic revelation during a World of Warcraft developer discussion? Does one of your can’t-miss Diablo panels conflict with a must-see StarCraft II match? No problem—with the Virtual Ticket, every channel will be available to view on demand, so you can check out any action you missed."
http://us.battle.net/blizzcon/en/vir...icket/#replays
and if I recall correctly, it is for up to two weeks after the event ends.
hmm let wow be F2P ! ohhh
to be honest? its not so expensive, everyone can get this amount of money, especialy if you know that blizzcon will happen in few months.
Just tell me how much you (gous who are talking its expensive) throw out money... in alcohol, cigarrets, different stuff that u DON'T need!
Everyone is just used to getting streams and video content for free.
This is a pay per view special really.
Because everyones different? And enjoys different things? It's ok to like something and think its worth the money, just like it's ok to not like something and not think its worth money and all the inbetweens
I li8ve in Scotland, I won't get the chance to go to Blizzcon in person, the VT is the next best thing, we get to see everything as its happening, watch all the panels because we enjoy them, and relax at home doing so. win win.
The same article that talks about them losing money also states that they sold 20,000 tickets for $120 each. That is $2.4 million right there. The article also states that they sold hundreds of thousands worth of merchandise. There is no reason they have to be losing money on Blizzcon. Maybe they shouldn't waste money bringing in ozzy osbourne or blink 182.THEY DONT PROFIT FROM BLIZZCON! God people, if you're going to keep this thread going at least get your damn facts straight.
