Video Games Live National Tour Canceled

Plaguefox writes "Video Games Live ('The first major North American concert tour featuring music from some of the biggest video games combined with video footage, lasers, lights, and live action') announced today that they have cancelled all tour dates in their national tour except for two scheduled for this weekend in Seattle and Vancouver. Fans across the country who have paid for tickets to these events must now manually request refunds and suffer convenience charges. The event was cancelled 'because ticket sales were slow and did not reflect the great interest expected.' This news comes after a previous tour-wide cancellation(with similar convenience charges) when the creators decided to increase tour stops and venue seating to match what they perceived as vastly more interest than they anticipated. As one person said: 'I've already paid enough convenience fees and facility fees to see a broadway musical. I wish I had.'"

Hardcore gamers won't get off the couch...

Somehow I just can't envision millions of hardcore gamers wanting to get up off the cough, away from the precious entertainment source to go to watch video clips and listen to music in some sort of "concert".

I see gamers who would rather cross their legs and hop up-and-down instead of just going to the bathroom to pee. You need to have something very enticing to get these guys away from the magic box.
