Whoo.

Still. There are well over 100,000 users on this sight. Active ones.
Now imagine a ticket for a three day pass costing $50.
if ONLY 100,000 attended, that'd be $5,000,000 in Bungies pocket alone.
Obviously there would be costs. Say even $3,000,000 worth. But that still $2,000,000 for Bungie. That 2 million dollars into a new IP, or the next trilogy. Or into more employees. or into new equipment.

We, as a community, could single handedly make Bungie one of the best funded Game developers in the business, and thus, help them make better games.


What say you, Bungie community?
I'd say that's quite a bit of inferring you just did there.

I always like to spice up my rhetoric with a little bit of exaggeration.
Glad to see it didn't go unnoticed.

Plus, I think it's safe to infer that A) not everyone on the site would go and B) the vast majority of attendees at this point in Bungie's life cycle would be BNet users due to their current darkness. So they ain't gettin' anywhere near 100,000.

Maybe... like... bout tree fiddy.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I think it would be cool too if Bungie did this to do an "Aerospace" thing where they show indie dev games they are supporting and you can make donations to charities Bungie supports.

Кланяються мені!

BungieCon eh? I would totally attend that! I'll sign up for the boxing booth with Jerome.

there are 100,000 users? Doesn't look that way.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

What if Bungie decided to hold the event?

In the studio :O

If something like this ever happened, you better believe I would buy my ticket in a heartbeat.


This...

For PAX and E3 I'd like to go but I don't really try. But if this happen I'd def make an effort to go.

  • 08.06.2012 10:17 PM PDT

I signed up on Bnet a few years ago (when halo 3 came out) but I had to make a new one.
Regardless, been a fan of Bungie's since then.

That would be the coolest thing ever, though, probably never going to happen...
I'll just keep dreaming about the idea of it. :') lol

I have a feeling they wouldn't trust all of us with the secrets of the studio...

BUT, maybe if we got rid of the people they didn't trust.....

Na nevermind.

No signature found. Click here to change this.

If this actually happened and was feasible for me (ie, relatively close to my region-- pacific northwest-- and not too pricey), -blam!- yeah I would be all of the down.

You better believe I would try to make an effort to go. Sadly though this sounds like a dream.

For those of you doubting this because of Bungie's size or current projects as a developer, you need to breathe some more air, because I give you:

MineCon

Minecraft is an indie game whose developers consist of a small team (10+ people), and they have already had their own convention.

Bungie can have one. Bungie/Microsoft/343i certainly have enough content for one.

Mideast
Hehehe Mideast is technically the Middle Eastern, and that's a pretty far trip.

Anyways, I live in Puerto Rico even though I study in Ohio. If Bungiecon was made during college semesters, I would probably think about it.

I don't think you understand how many people 100,000 is.

No way even a quarter of that many people would show up. my whole town only has 156,000 people.

Isn't that the same idea as PAX?

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

Loving this idea so far. Surprised it hasn't actually happened yet. Anyways, just to get my say in this, what if they had a members only area, where say, you had to have been an active member of the community for say a year or two. For people who were dedicated to the community and not just the game.

  • 08.07.2012 2:40 AM PDT

I'd go.

There's no way Nate Hawbaker's favorite hero is Alan Stuart


ALAN IS A BEAUTIFUL MAN!

It's a great idea, but would seem unecessary to Bungie. Theoretically, when do you think they'd do it?

Yeah, I think he still meant Bungie, and that they would pocket some cash at the end.
