The committee of next year's games con decided they wanted to focus on the games side. Over the years, the Cambridge games con committees have been formed by various permutations from a fairly large group of people, and opinions as to the benefits of combining with a unicon vary.
I think that the combination leads to significantly more interesting discussions, and that the high level of overlap between the two fandoms adds value to combining the events, but even I don't think that every BRS con should be a unicon (or that every unicon should be a games con).
I think it's very likely that there will be another combined con at some point.
