My condolences to Ian...

I'm glad crowdfunding and the alies made it possible for him to spend that time with his dad without major financial worries.

Man. It is simply unfair to have to go through what Ian has had to endure with his parents. I am very grateful for all Ian does. I hope having the months with his dad helped with his grief

I've had 3 family members pass away in recent years and, while it's obviously never good, two of them had an extended period of falling ill and whatnot. In hindsight, I'm grateful for having that period to come to terms and spend time with my loved ones before they move on.

Allowing Ian to just disappear for months without explanation is without a doubt the best thing that could have happened. He'll treasure this time that he got to have for the rest of his life.

Oh, Ian. My deepest condolences, man. Losing both parents is so tough. My thoughts are with you, buddy. You've got a massive family here that loves and supports you.


I heard he's doing stuff at Fanbyte now. Source: I'm him.

Great to see you here, Ryan. I've been a fan of your writing from all the way back to your Dark Souls review on GT. Good to know where I can find you.

On Cup of Jones, they said they're doing it.

Much rather than than playing a game, so I'm glad. Then Team Sonic Racing after.

They were refused access to E3, yet are judges and have appointments with publishers. They're having to buy public tickets and then go to the appointments anyway. How fucking dumb.

No wonder it's dying. ESA being idiots.

Well that's quite the shocker. Not listening to CoJ atm so hopefully we can get a full explanation for the refusal

The full explanation is that the ESA said no and they gave no further information to them. Whatever metric they look at that EZA aren't hitting, they're not saying and their website just says "eligibility criteria changes each year".

My condolences to Ian. Losing a parent is very hard...I remember him talking about losing his mother and how difficult that was for him. Hope he takes all the time he needs before coming back. I'm glad he has a lot of support.

Bloodworth clarified during CoJ that they did get a small group of badges, but they didn't think them worthy enough to give everyone a badge, so they're buying the rest

I'm willing to help out any way I can in order to ease the expenses but...the fucking ESA man...
EZA's coverage of E3 is my favorite part of the event, if they fuck that up...

Good thing E3 has public days or the press wouldn't be able to cover it! Hah, that'll be a fun wrinkle the next time the topic of whether E3 should be a public event at all comes up on the podcast.

Those E3 tickets are not cheap....

Thats gonna take a bite out of their savings for sure.

On the other hand, E3 is really important for EZA so they are between a rock and a hard place.

E3 was fine as an industry-only event. Turning it into Gamescom or PAX is what seems to have diluted its appeal to folks like EA and Sony. If giving up public access is what is needed to save E3, then so be it. Guaranteed they're pulling badges from smaller outlets in order to sell more tickets, which is what makes the whole thing so gross. Ugh.

Another Blood clarification is that the tickkets they're getting are Media Badges, just having to pay for it. So I imagine that's more expensive AND seeing them worthy of media access anyway... As long as they pay up.

EA left when it was industry only and their reasoning was "to let players get their hands on our latest games" at their EA Play in LA and London at the same time, so they actually want the public.

I guess there is a readon why E3 has been declining a lot on the recent years..

this organization just keep pushing everyone away, I'm really sad about it, they smugness might end what is one of the best shows of gaming in the world.

I just noticed that there is going to be a Pokemon Press Conference tomorrow night at 6pm. This is the exact same time when the EZA Group Stream begins. Does this mean the Allies aren't going to cover the Pokemon Press Conference, then?

I played around on the E3 website now just to see the language regarding how they determine who gets badges, and it seems pretty subjective. They don't factor in any social media numbers and rely solely on some traffic metric tool. Also, I tried to "register" as a media member and it indicated some sort of pro pass was $995... so uh...hopefully there was a group rate, because that is insane. Might need a Post E3 fundraiser stream to refill the coffers!

Hopefully they wernt looking at traffic to easyallies.com cause that seems like a bad way to go about things.

So when is the EZA E3 1st official stream? Will it be on Sat for EA's EA Play event or will it be on Sunday during Microsoft's E3 Event?
