Still online, that’s a shame. The full-week event was an amazing experience when I went in 2013 & 14.

- graypegg 4y agoI find myself missing the in-person keynote. Something genuine feels lost with the pre-recorded ones. Really makes me realize “oh this is just a long ad”. (Which is always was but it felt more like an exciting reveal of “the next big thing” years ago.)
- BFLpL0QNek 4y agoGiven the PR recently with Apple calling people back to the office you would think they’d be leading by example and moving back to in person events again.
- Apocryphon 4y agoThe expanded Moscone Center should be available to host WWDC again, too.
- DerekL 4y agoYeah, but WWDC moved back to San Jose in 2017.
- Apocryphon 4y agoThat was because Moscone was under remodeling/expansion.
- DerekL 4y agoHmm, I didn't know that.
- georgemcbay 4y agoThat could backfire and work against them if a lot of people caught COVID at the convention... which seems likely considering a lot of people just caught COVID at GDC. Admittedly anecdotal in nature but gamedev twitter has been chock full of "tested positive after GDC, if you were with me get checked" for the past week.
