he's just saying what we already know. ESA said themselves they're not guaranteeing an online event
I thought I remembered E3 accounting for like 25% of their annual revenue or something like that?
Losing it MUST be a massive blow.

Betty White and Bob Saget are fist bumping in heaven at E3. 😔
Such a bummer. I'm really gonna miss E3 if it's gone forever. We don't really have anything else like it.
Instead, we are getting multiple publishers streams *sigh* At least with E3 it was one pack collection.
This is a good thing IMHO. E3 is hectic. Too much going on at the same time. And this is as a consumer. Actually working at the convention sucks. I've seen the effect that has on industry people first hand.
Can't say I care much. I vastly prefer the Direct and State of Play style stuff these days. I did enjoy E3 years ago but I just feel that style isn't really needed anymore.
Forreal, people here will come to accept it sooner or later.
I see a lot of people saying they aren't really bothered by this news but I am with you. I loved E3 time and miss the excitement around it. The 2020 drip feed of content over the course of the summer is the last thing I want again.
Fine by me. I prefer spread out, platform/publisher/developer specific events. Whether in person or virtual a huge dump of all of them over a few days is just too much to keep up with. Way easier to stay informed by spreading them out more like with Keighley's summer long thing. I'd much prefer sticking with that, along with things like Nintendo Directs, Sony State of Plays, Xbox Showcases etc. as needed throughout the year.
I miss the spectacle of watching E3, but it really only works as a physical event. Publishers have gotten good at doing their own digital presentations, and they're much cheaper to do than attending something like E3. A digital-only E3 kind of defeats the point of E3 at this point, imo. Can't say I'm sad about it being canceled.
The drawn out announcements are kinda boring/I feel like it's actually easier for me to miss some smaller news that way since I'm not looking for it, but this is the way things were obviously heading and it's probably better for everyone involved.
Rather, if it had died (as it was already seeming it might) when it was still an in-person event, I would be sadder just because I'd lose out on some of the "everyone is actually in the same location" podcasts/videos from sites I like. But we already lost that.

Nope it means you'll be disappointed over and over throughout the year.
It was nice to have a solid week of shows/announcements and excitement. But the steady stream of news is also nice through the summer. Not sure which I prefer or how I feel about E3 going away.
