Don’t count on it. Splash Damage is still a “small” company. You might try iD, however; they’re a larger company with many game “families”. If someone could prove that advertisers/sponsors would cough up enough cash and a central location was chosen, you might get some traction. To hold a QuakeCon-like event you need:
- money
- popular cutting-edge games/teams/players
- famous sponsors (ATI sponsored the Crossfire Team from www.xfire.be )
- publicity/big prizes
- more money
-edit-
I too was lmao at Wils’ lock of that resurrected thread. I was reading it going, “wtf?” I was getting disappointed that ET:QW beta had been leaked just like Wolfy… but then I noticed the dates…
