This ^
There are other major companies out there that do the same thing: Mojang. Notice how Minecon is almost always in Europe? It's a European country. What about Apple when thy introduce a new product? They do it California. Countries based in one region of the world typically host their events there, not only because of convienience, but I can bet you there are a lot more Finnish players then Canadians etc. Why? Because it's a big game and company - that is based and was started in their country.

I understand your point of view, but most of the Clash of Clans developers reside in Europe, which is why they're hosting the ClashCon in Europe not in America. I see where you're going with your idea, though because a huge amount of Clash players are either North American or from various Asian countries, but it's like saying going to your neighbours house to play video games when you have the same game in the comfort of your home.

^this, just i'm about to say.

If there would be a clashcon in US, it "could" be next year.

But I would rather have it somewhere in Asia in where there are a LOT more players and interest.

Bias is in the fact that everything on that website is nothing but pure speculation and assumptions. Not based on any real server data and is the definition of a dog and pony show of an app.

As for the topic in hand, my reasoning is the costs and logistics of the event. There are far more people that can either get to the US location or get to any location in the US. Tickets to get from one costs to another is significantly cheaper than the same distance traveled but between different countries. Then there's the notion of getting a visa for Finland. How often have you needed to go to Finland? But a visa to the U.S. can serve future travel and events.

Vegas would have made the most sense as far as the widest reach for the convention. East travel for most americans, canadians' south americans. Simple travel from Asia (you should see how many Chinese tourist go to vegas!)

It must would have made more sense

Why is Blizzcon not in Europe or Asia? Why is Vidcon not there as well? Muricans...

It's funny when Americans think they are the only ones on the planet. SC isn't an American company either.
