figured Id start an early discussion. Mostly because I'm excited about the expo again this year. (And my son cant stop asking me when it is so I cant keep from being reminded about it, lol)

for those that brought games to the expo, how were your games treated? I didnt specifically see anyone mis-treating games, but its not like I was looking and its not like someone would do something to one and publicly announce it afterwards. I am debating on bringing a game but I dont want any of my games getting hurt by a jerk either. It would be cool to have a game there and be able to see others enjoying it as much as me and my son do. Being 4 player games, it would be even cooler to see 4 person epic-ness going on on it :)

Hey man, I'm happy to hear you are considering take a game to the expo. I took my Super Pac-man last year, and had absolutely no issues whatsoever. I've got several collector friends in town that brought several games and they had no issues either.

I've been to the expo both years, and have never (outside of little kids) seen anything rough or disrespectful going on with the games.

I think you'll be fine!
 
Look at it this way, most of your games were probably on location for years and played by people who could care less about respecting them. A short time at an event where people actually care about the games should be no problem.
