Topic	why doesn't nintendo have their own conventions
TigerTycoon 03/31/25 6:05:40 PM #25:	ConfusedTorchic posted... hosting an event that is entirely nintendo things, that would attract fans of said nintendo things, seems like it would do the opposite of that. it would be directly under their control, people will spend tons of money there. people already now spend tons of money at their fuckin museum even https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY9cSFRBzJc You're misunderstand the issue, it's not the content that Nintendo is worried about not having control over, it's the mass of people not under their employ, not beholden to any legal restrictions or NDA to upload their image. Even if they were to profit millions off the convention, that's small beans to Nintendo the company who are far more worried about the potential PR risk. A museum is completely different than a convention, the content, environment, expected behavior of its guests, and media exposure. The real indented purpose of conventions like BlizzCon isn't to make money from the event anyway, that's just a bonus, the real purpose is to get attention on their products to market them. Even before E3 shut down Nintendo pulled out of it themselves because they didn't see the point over just releasing a video on youtube that was far more controlled (and cheaper) than a public stage presentation. It's not like you need to believe me though, if Nintendo thought having a yearly Nintendo convention was a good idea, they'd just do it. --- YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT! <cite>TigerTycoon posted [p:984541667] in why doesn'...
