In a year when gathering large groups of people together in the same place is a recipe for the spread of a disease that has killed 100,000 people in this country alone, Blizzard has made the responsible choice and cancelled their company's famed (mostly) annual convention.
As someone who mostly interacts with Blizzard through WoW (though I do also play a fair amount of Hearthstone) I wasn't all that invested in this year's convention, given that we already know what expansion is coming next.
Still, I know that it's a big event and people often go there to interact with friends they've made online in person. In our current situation, all friends are online friends.
Blizzard has said that they are looking into ways to have the content one would expect at such a convention happen online (which, to be fair, is how most people experience the conventions anyway).
