Haha. I knew that too. Not sure why I typed official. My bad.

I wonder if SDCC is really making them stop or if it’s simply logistics. Either way, it’s disappointing. The offsites are just as enjoyable for me personally as the con itself. They all have their own unique vibe.

Syfy Live, I've heard, had nothing to do with CCI.

Just speculating here--

SYFY WIRE coverage from ECCC and C2E2 included panels with an audience, so maybe that's what we'll get instead of Syfy Live.  :-\  :-\

Are you stating this as fact; or merely expressing that nothing has been announced as of yet?

Sorry, should have stated the source. It was in that article from the Hollywood Reporter--

"HBO will forgo the marketing side as well. The Westworld and Game of Thrones interactive activations that were the breakout hits of last year's event will be absent this time."

The video from the official comic con blog said no Syfy live this year. I guess it looks like SDCC is cutting out all offsites that have panels within 2 miles of the con. I read on another page that Nerdist will not have their event either. Disappointing.



Cracking down on offsites is not a good way for SDCC to go.  Between the drama with NerdHQ, venue fees going through the roof, and major studios pulling out - they need all the offsite experiences they can get.

I was doubting that Westworld would be at SDCC but was sure that GOT would have a presence.
Outlander and now HBO not attending is very sad news.
