I tried at first, but I just can’t bring myself to get excited about these virtual cons anymore.  :(

Same. :(  It's ultimately just a bunch of Youtube videos.

Same.  If they were at least live that would be something.  These pre-recorded videos just don't do it.

I hoped that they would do something better by now.  It's been a year.  People have done live concerts in Roblox and people have done live panels in VR.  There have been live events in Fortnite for years.  Setting up a live event in VR isn't hard.  People do it everyday.  That way the panel members can interact with a live audience.

Yeah. To be fair I was never excited about virtual events (and a year on, I have still not learned to enjoy them), but they could at least TRY for a little interactivity. I was hoping for an improvement from last year, which was... not great. I remember specifically they asked for cosplay at home photos and said they would re-post favorites. I spent about 2 hours setting up a cosplay shot and sent it. I can't remember if they reposted any at all... I stopped checking a day or two after the 'con'.
