RIP. Went to 3 E3 conferences back to back at the end of their golden years. Boy was it a glorious spectacle that I’m thankful I got to experience.

Absolutely no problem, this is just a very spesific nitpick of mine
*specific. Sorry but spesific instead of specific is specially annoying for me
Good riddance. The Game Awards next please.
I think there’s absolutely a space for an industry achievement/recognition award like the Oscar, Tony, etc. The Game Awards just seems like the most cynical attempt at forcing one into the video game space.
What I don’t get about all the criticism lobbied at The Game Awards is that other gaming award shows do exist, and have existed, but people don’t fucking watch them and then they criticize TGA for doing what other awards shows didn’t: get millions to actually watch it.
Like what? The BAFTA?
I kind of miss seeing the pot shots they all took at each other at E3 tbh
It’s a shame. The GamesCom in Europe seems to be doing quite well so it’s not really a matter of “conferences are dead”.
I know conferences are no longer a place for big announcements. There’s no more need to gather all the press in one place, they can just do it online now, at a dedicated time when they’re not competing with other announcements in the industry. But as a visitor I really enjoyed going to GamesCom. Never been to the US so the E3 is not a thing for me but I’m sure this will have knock-on effects globally.
Member the “Booth Babes?”
Yeah. Ive seen this same article posted every year since Sony premiered Ghost of Tsushima across the road from the LACC. Before that, they said it was dead when they banned booth babes. It also hasnt existed for the last 3 years.
We are very well aware it’s dead.
Well yeah but the esa was still trying to keep it running. This is the final announcement that they aren’t even trying anymore. It’s done done this time
I had some fun going in 2018 with friends, but it definitely felt like a theme park with lines everywhere for demos. Maybe there’s room for something to take its place focused on those demos or community events, rather than announcements that most visitors couldn’t attend anyway.
