- saurik 15y agoA key problem with Google I/O is that they give you enough free stuff while you are there to pay you back for the price of the ticket multiple times over: this pricing arbitrage creates miserable incentives, and causes a lot of people to register for the conference for the sole purpose of being able to obtain free stuff, after which they either immediately ditch or scalp their ticket.
- ryanhuff 15y agoIt looks like they upped the price. We will see if it influences demand.
- saurik 15y agoYes; however, the result is still less than the resale value of the equipment they gave everyone for free last year (especially if you went to the talk that gave away the Xperia Play): what they really need to do is not make the conference a net-negative "cost" to attend.
