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."

    Gen Com purchase offer rejected
    Seems as if someone was trying to destabilize things.

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

    Coming from a local Indy resident this is huge news GenCon has been a part of my life for quite awhile now and all I can hope is that someone buys it who cares about D&D and CTG's. Most of my friends are very involved with this convention my best friend volunteers and was won second place last year in the final FMA tourney. All I can hope is that if there are buyers they will remember what GenCon is about and keep true to all the gamers that enjoy it so much.

      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. :-)
