Gen Con Goes Up For Sale

Posted by Soulskill on from the i-bid-$5d20 dept.

Trask writes "LivingDice has documents indicating that Gen Con LLC is up for sale. Additionally, there is an offer pending which could close by the end of the year. This may finally put an end to the uncertainty caused by Gen Con's chapter 11 filing and the recently dismissed Lucasfilm lawsuit."

    Seems as if someone was trying to destabilize things.

      That newer posting is two days old too. The story on the original letter was posted a week ago.

    When a company has filed a Chapter 11 they have to examine every offer to be bought out.

    If GM files Chapter 11 and some idiot offers them $10 for the entire company, then GM has to treat it as an offer and consider it.

    Gen Con is a gaming convention, just a bit smaller than E3.

    I second this, and hope that however *does* buy it doesn't treat it the way WotC did when they owned it and give games made by other companies second class booths / rooms.

    Also for the love of jeebus keep it in indy. Its not too far a drive from Mi for me. :-)
