We can effectively declare E3 dead.
I thought E3 died a couple years ago already?
I still think E3 could have been good if they only accepted games with a release date within 12 months and required in-engine gameplay.
Always felt that getting hype for something from E3 was a eight year track to sadness.
I struggle to understand why E3 isn’t a thing anymore but companies like Microsoft do their shows under the Summer Game Showcase brand. Didn’t E3 fail because companies wanted their own spaces?
I’m too lazy to look this up to verify, but I think part of E3’s problem was that when it came back post COVID it was charging absurd fees for a booth compared to the Summer Games Showcase.
yeah. as i understand the ESA is also kind of unpleasant to work with and not necessarily who you’d trust most to run an industry event like this. coupled with increased desire for companies to control their events and COVID, it’s really hard to justify E3
