Pretty piss-poor. Australia doesn't have the population density to support
big events of that ilk. Not to mention that we barely see half the game
lines available in the US; gaming is a pretty specialized niche at the best
of times; in a vast country with only 20 million people in it, "big" gaming
events aren't really going to draw anyone from the industry the way the US
cons do. :-(
