The game developers conference is jacking up their prices all the time too. It's super annoying that the Vault wasn't included by default with an all access pass. And the division into summits is confusing and annoying as well.

GDC needs competition.

I think Vancouver or Montreal would be a great destination, cheaper too.

> Vancouver > cheaper

wut.

It's one of the most expensive cities in N. America and routinely outranks other cities like Los Angeles as being more expensive. No shortage of homelessness there, too; don't leave stuff in your car cuz it's gonna vanish.

MTL is cheaper but there are language barrier issues, and it's just a lot further away. SF was the location of the conference since half of the tech world is in California, or is tied to / interacts with California.
