PAX has been affected as well, where so many different branches of these conventions taking different approaches. This was seen from cancelations of PAX East to PAX West attendees requiring a vaccination or negative test. The Texas-based PAX South however will be brought to an end for the foreseeable future.
PAX was a gaming culture convention that involved tabletop, arcade, and video games, first hosted in 2004, in Bellevue Washington. As the event got bigger and attendee numbers grew, this resulted in the event being expanded into several different branches, culminating in conventions taking place in different cities through PAX East, PAX Unplugged, and even over in Melbourne through PAX Australia. PAX South was an event that took place in San Antonio Texas, the first event being hosted in 2015.
The official Twitter account posted to fans a variety of factors that resulted in the cancelation of the convention. While PAX South was another iteration of the event that allowed fans in Texas to get together, it was noted as being a smaller event than its counterparts. The size of the show was also the same as the first event in 2015, where it hasn't grown or reduced since then either. Combined with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, PAX South has been brought to end for the time being.
