AT&T Becomes Official QuakeCon Sponsor, Internet Provider
One of the most important parts of the upcoming QuakeCon convention in Dallas, Texas, is the massive LAN party that happens every year. This year that party will be powered by Internet access provided by AT&T.
AT&T and Bethesda announced the partnership today, revealing that AT&T will provide more than five times the amount of bandwidth that previous QuakeCon LAN events had access to. AT&T director of sponsorships Greg Skasko spoke about the deal:
"AT&T is thrilled to be a part of this year’s BYOC [Bring Your Own Computer] and we’re proud to connect these avid gamers to each other through our greatest asset – our network. By wiring the event with our reliable, U-verse High Speed Internet, we’re ensuring that the focus of the party stays on having fun with those who share the same passion for gaming."
QuakeCon begins next Thursday, August 4, and runs through Saturday, August 6.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
