The problem with E3 recently, other than dumb decisions by some of the companies going unchecked like the EA nonsense or Sonys tent musical then making everyone walk to another location for another musical, is that E3 wasn't encouraging companies to really push harder for E3. So they just started making generic presentations, or releasing trailers without gameplay while giving cringe interviews with barely any content and the excitement dropped.

People want E3, they just want a reason to go to E3 or to watch E3. This new strategy of theirs should have been done back in 2017.
