Annual id Software celebration QuakeCon has been dated, while Blizzard has said its yearly fan-focused event, BlizzCon, won't return until 2013.

id said: "North America's largest BYOC (Bring-Your-Own-Computer) LAN party, returns to the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, TX on August 2-5. Those interested in attending can reserve special room rates at the hotel by calling 1-800- Hiltons and ask for the QuakeCon 2012 rate ($154 per night).

Meanwhile, Blizzard said: "We're... heavily focused on getting Diablo III, Mists of Pandaria, and Heart of the Swarm into players' hands as soon as possible... In light of our jam-packed schedule, we've decided to hold the next BlizzCon in 2013."
