Huge disappointment if they don't bring us any tournament this year. Would be a first. Been following this event since years, was always a good time and an integral part of the event.
No, but they will throw panties and bras, all the good stuff, to the public.
And we have the occasion to see Hugo Martin play Doom with the controller like the lamer he is. LOL

really sad to see quakecon with no quake tournament tbh.. it was the one thing every quakecon that would get pretty good consistent views and attention on their streams and was always pretty hype
Tim Willits and co. basically wasted 10 years destroying any remaining brand capital that QUAKE had. Doing the silent drop from Qcon this year is just one last fuck you to the community.
-Limited edition Doom 1&2 release on Super Nintendo
-Limited edition of Doom Anthology (All doom games + plastic bfg toy)
-Three new pets in TES:Online
-QC: quakecon 2024 skin and a new ffa map
-New Fallout 76 update coming soon

Too bad I missed the stream, this shit must've been wild.
There's no big Quake news. But there are some things going on.
According to Reddit people seemingly quoting the official Discord, QC will be freed up just like QL was. Users will be able to upload their own servers, and official support will end. No schedule.
There's a third-party Quake 1 board game on the works. Yay.
And there's always community-made stuff going on. This month the official-ish remaster of Quake 2 PSX was released, for Q2 Remaster on Steam. And KeenCon will be hosted this weekend; a 1v1 QC LAN in Spain, with zoot commentating
