Digital E3 is officially cancelled

While I cannot confirm this definitely at the moment, I can mention that several affairs surrounding E3 (2022) have been in a disarray for quite a while. Personally I think it is the best for E3 to be cancelled for some time so a full-fledged renewal can take place.
🤷♂️ I found them more entertaining than SGF. It's okay if you think they're boring.
Give me the Microsoft Presser, Treehouse Live and whatever Devolver Digital was going to do and I don't care what you call it.
However, the industry press seemed to benefit from having E3. The Easy Allies of the world and such seemed to give better coverage and interviews from being live on the show floor.

Welp. Shucks.
...time to bring back the E for All trade show! The time is ripe to make a comeback!
I don't hold as much disdain for E3 in its final years like some, but uh...yeah. After that fiasco happened, I'm kinda good with E3's dissolution. Ain't surprised at all about Grubb's tweet explicitly stating everyone having way more trust in Keighley than the clowns at ESA. The death of E3 is what the latter deserved.

I absolutely LOVE E3, and I hate half the responses in here to this news, lol. E3 was a major event in my life for what seems like forever.
When am I going to get to see )#$U@)$@*)@(#$#)($ Forza Motorsport??????????????
(deep breaths)
Is Microsoft/Nintendo/Sony doing something in place of E3?

They are actually due to the lack of audience. In additon, I like seeing dudes present their porduct to the audience, what's the fucking point for public speaking courses. Man, you zoomers lucky.
I would expect Microsoft and Nintendo to do their typical shows in the typical time frames. Who knows about Sony though.
I'll always miss prime E3 as a consumer. It was like Christmas. Sounds like it was miserable for the industry though.
IGN confirmed it:

E3 2022 - Digital and Physical - Has Officially Been Canceled - IGN
After previously canceling its in-person E3 2022 event, the ESA has now informed its partners that there will be no digital event equivalent this year either - meaning E3 2022 has fully been canceled.
Yeah but did we. Keighly is great but his shows are stuffed with filler and ads galore. Hopefully he'll be able to cut some of that if more publishers come to his shows, but until I see it I'll reserve judgement.
I think you're confusing the Summer Games Fest and The Game Awards?
You know what to do Era
already done

I guess Gamescom will be the year's biggest video game trade event going forward. And, yeah, Keighley is of course also part of Gamescom, lol.

Yeah, seriously. if publishers are all going with him they should be able to put in some money so we don't need as many ads all over, but maybe that's what they want
Even Geoff's thing doesn't make a lot of sense. it's just a bunch of companies doing their own events in the Summer, and Geoff just kind of putting his name on it lol.
E3 will hopefully be back as an in-person convention next year.

the rise of streaming + publishers/devs learning how to do their own conferences because of that was an inevitable death of E3. it died years ago
conventions themselves only make sense for ones like gamescom that will always be relevant. the format E3 had was old and couldn't compete with the changes

Lmao, Geoff Keighley strikes again
Eh we're still going to get announcements so who really cares? We'll still get a big Direct and an Xbox + Bethesda thing and it'll probably all happen in the same week. Just wrapped up a bit differently.
To be honest, Keighley's probably better at it than the ESA anyway. He's not perfect (needs to vastly improve the pacing of his shows) but he gets more right than wrong.
Will be interesting to see how many people they can convince to come back next year if they try to do an in-person thing again.

Lol I mean it still happens. Sony has their single game focused directs where devs present the work. But hey, I think the gamescom event and SGF will have an audience so there's something just for you 😉
