I'm a Hasbro fanboy through and through, but even I'm scratching my head wondering what the Hell they were thinking.

It seems like they had the opportunity to make a nice convention for family and kids. Why did it fail? Was it ignorance or inexperience?

They made it failed willingly so they can shut down independent conventions as they obviously hurt their business

>>30912309
Shitty marketing I guess. The movie can bomb because of it cause Hasbro never advertises their shit.

Doesn't matter if it is their first convention. Hasbro should've known better NOT to overcharge for content. Hell, they make fan conventions look like a saint with the prices they were having.

>>30912510
>>30912612
$160 isn't as much as what passes for BotCon was.

Cheapest was a "Protoform" pass at a 150 I think but that just got one person in.

The big one was the "Primus" pass for $500 which ensured you could get the box set of figures for that year's BotCon and also to purchase "mini-con" passes that was over a hundred dollars (each) for people to be "attached" to the "Primus" holder and it could be upgraded to golden ticket for another hundred for benefits like front row of panels.

Though at BotCon that didn't limit you to only two exclusives.

The problem with official cons. You can't just walk around with your fan-made merch safely. Can't get anything signed because its not official. There's no fan art being sold. No fan projects being discussed. Maybe they're better off showing some of these reveals off at bronycon, Transformer cons, etc.

You must dress yourself in a 'girls clothing' cut your taint, and mace a Gamestop employee.

>>30912109
>>30912209
They rented out an entire arena for this?

>>30913560
Yes.
And they are trying to shut down fan made cons with C&D's

>>30913472
Even people with sever autism eventually grow out of it or at least become self aware. Chris is so absurdly odd that I think its possible he could be pretending to be autistic. He could have faked a disability to get welfare and free publicity online.
He either has an extremely rare mental disorder or hes playing 5d chess.

>>30913610
No way. With how much of his life has been documented, it's a near 100% chance that he's been this way forever.

>>30912077
they waited too long before TRYING to cash in on the con game

>>30913610
On the wiki there's a log of emails between CWC and some autism volunteer worker prompted by him freaking out over Asperger's and autism being conflated. She thinks Chris may have been misdiagnosed, and instead has Landau Kleffner syndrome.

>>30914723
And what in the fuck is Landau Kleffner syndrome?

>>30914735
What the fuck is Google?

>>30914735
In a nutshell it's some kind of disorder that causes behavioral problems and the inability to comprehend language in kids. I think this was backed up somewhere on CWCiki stating he couldn't speak a word when he was well into his toddler years.

>>30912077

>>30914875
I think they over-estimated how desperate their fans were for stuff; Since they got rid of that transformers fan con for this, they probably figured all the people going to that one would be forced to go to this one, like when you have a monopoly on something.

>>30914886
not that anon, but the point of a con should be for hype. if hasbro were intelligent savvy business investors theyd make their con accessible to as many people as possible, offer as much free shit and exclusives as possible, and encourage fans to bring, make, sell and discuss fan made content at the con. the most successful people utilize their fanbase rather than alienate them as hasbro did with this con.

>>30912077
Maybe don't make a fucking family event so expensive this time.

>>30914914
Yes, but this is Hasbro, they are greed incarnate and will murder your youtube channel for some shekels if it means they can get their hands on it.

>>30914886
It could be if the entry fee was family friendly and they sold their toys there, annoying little kids will fill hasbro's pockets in no time.

>>30915074
They don'y think using logic and reason.

Someone messed up the budget and spending somewhere along the lines and they tried to cut their loses.
Everything you saw there was not volunteer work, people got paid for every part and item created, every single thing. That's why you don't see large companies making cons left and right.

He was sexually harassing people at the last con he scammed people to get money for.

>>30915930
>through the roof

that's a bad way to describe it, that would imply its climbing. Its HIGH, but its not climbing "through the roof", rather it HIT its current level about 2/3 years back and has stayed constantly high as an established brand.

>>30916509
That's business logic 101 man, its how ALL corporations work; Producing quality products is hard, its much easier to get a bunch of barriers to entry and get politicians in your pocket to help you stamp out any upstarts that try and butt in, banking on being "too big to fail"

>>30919380
no it just means people aren't willing to shell out for a heavily restricted con. This fandom is about more than just the show.

>>30920041
just goes to show how out of touch with what they're selling the executives at the top are; if they had anyone on their team in a position of power that was actually a fan of stuff that gets conventions, they would have organized this differently.

Literally old men sitting around who've never played with or been fans of these shows thinking up "how can we squeeze money out of these idiots?" without understanding WHY the young folks are fans of the brands.

>>30917585

The fact that Chris is using DoopieDoOver's art weird me the fuck out. Watching her and hearing her she seems like the last person that should ever get involved with the legendeary CWC.
Also, Chris had the hots for her like usual, but of course, she's taken, and he sperged out real good.

Chris wants any female that breathes, have you not seen his love quest?

>>30922064
and we're almost down to that number again; fandom is dying.

>>30922898
>le fandom is dying.
It has been dying since S1, we fucking get it you doomsayer.

>>30922904
Not since S1. It was picking up steam and ever increasing until S3. That is when the turn around happened.

Maybe the photos are empty because they can't take pics of normal people and kids faces.

No. Fuck that overly sensitive prude for hurrying him away when he didn't even say anything offensive or nsfw.

But Chris-chan has an official, reciprocated vagina-having heartsweet now. Jessica Quinn. Even he has a gf. fml.

Chris is insane, there is no other way to put it

People on his level of autism need psychological help and attention since the beggining of their lifes, but his parents just trew him in his room, put him a school full cruel kids to make fun of him, said he had no problem that the church could not help him with it and they started to fight, drink and abuse his brother insed their very filthy house (Barb being a hoarder and Bob being a alcoholic) in front of him. His fictional world is the only happy place he ever had

The shot is so depressing it's actually Kino.

Did they have an open bar? You need an open bar at places like that.

>>30924284
The only thing to salvage that disaster would be a gay bar

The con attendance was rising up until season 4ish, then it declined hard.

The ride is ending soon.

I can just imagine the memo on the desk of Hasbro's CEO:

>Note: Kill that fucking goose.

>>30914914
>>30915003

Hasbro is fucking retarded when it comes to "managing the community." As I mentioned before, Hasbro seems dead set on murdering the goose than lays the golden eggs, instead of y'know, giving the goose what it wants and collecting more shekels in the long term.

In this case, the goose represents the brony and horsefucker fandom.
