That's part of E3. You need an E3 ticket to get in there to see their stuff too.
It's not dying. Just a bunch of FUD

Geoff Keighley is skipping E3
- Thread starter Tregard
- Start date
Wouldn't surprise me if it was because of all the journalists private info leaked from last year's E3
for sure, but there has to be a positive impact for the TGA's if developers don't view E3 as a viable or worthwhile place to showcase games or put marketing budget towards. Geoff has worked hard at making the TGA's successful and I am absolutely not saying what he is doing is in any way nefarious, but come on, theres no way he doesn't know that without E3's old clout the TGA will be more impactful

E3 used to be something I would take the week off for. But...
Writing has been on the wall for years. I don't need everything slapped together into four crazy days. There will still be big events and big announcements. They just wouldn't all be at the same time, and that's probably no bad thing.
I'm really looking forwards to the PS5 and Xbox Series X big unveilings. Whether they happen one day after the other in LA or not doesn't really matter.

The funniest part of your response is that even though it looks like a joke, it isn't.
Maybe I should change my name to Wario Falconpunch and see if I can get a job at NoA.
E3 is about as useful as a wet fart these days. No point even tuning in anymore. Well, perhaps for Ubisoft. But like, that's it.

This is the damning tweet right here, to say this publicly is pretty huge
maybe not skip, but do they need the entire crew to go? Probably not.
they could do the couch with Jeff, Jan, and Alex. And Rorie.
This is where I'm at
The Game Awards
Gamescom
PGW
TGS
PSX
Xbox X0
Nintendo Directs
State of Plays
Random Twitch Streams
There are a plethora of avenues to reach millions of consumers and build hype these days. And personally I like having events and reveals spread throughout the year.

That is pretty damning.
It's more like going from the premier league to the 3rd division.
It will survive as a less important event.

I would think Sony would want their own folks to do that. Namely Cerny.
Yeah the data leak was bad. Although I do love the stage shows. I dont get the same hype from Nintendo directs, although I seem to be in the minority.

Wow, that's damming.
ESA pays the price via a thousand cuts
Saying the quiet part out loud, very damning

Video game industry is dead!
Damn, i didn't know Geoff is 40 years old.
The decline of E3 is a shame & i think a bad thing for the industry.
To have such an event every year is exciting and i feel it's a shame companies like Sony are adding to the decline.
I thought a gaming forum would agree with this....
All these people saying E3 is dead; have you ever actually been to an E3? Regardless of the drama surrounding it, its an incredible event to go to in person. And people arent going to stop attending. Its not going to die lol.

Glad he's not staying radio silent on this.
I also think it's been done for a while now, we just didn't fully notice.
You could have saved yourself from looking like a complete jobber by doing a quick search on Google, but I suppose that was too difficult D:
Was. Times change, just like E3 did. E3 is already irrelevant. Everyone already saw this coming when they read about the E3 rebranding. The amount of negativity I've seen around it kinda just speaks for itself. I can already imagine all the Twitch "influencer" cringe. All the insufferable celebrities that lie about playing video games while visibly laughing on the inside.
Let it go, you'll be ok.
E3 can't be done through video alone, as there is a lot of physical gathering and networking that happens in the industry. I also imagine that a lot of game demos are easier to show to the press in person.
But maybe the marketers and media outlets are figuring there are better ways? I don't know for sure, but a centralized week of that stuff must have made it easier to plan and budget for.
The thing about the data breach is that, while I think the topic is very serious, plenty of institutions have bounced back (sometimes undeservedly) from data breaches. If people really wanted to keep E3 around, they would let ESA fix the data breach issue and move on. The apparent exodus seems to be something that didn't need the data breach to happen.
I will also say, I dont think the TGAs are some kind of fix for the E3 'problem', and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the TGA also has less-than-secure data practices. It's very common.

I am surprised especially in a console launch year.
I would not be surprised if Sony did get Geoff to do the reveal for the PS5 or become the face of the PS5. With the reshuffle within PlayStation we don't see any potential personality executives like Tretton. Shawn Layden seemed to hate being on stage. I think he like the behind the scenes better.
I think Geoff would be a good choice.

I think they mean as the event for every gamer to get excited about, that is over already.
It will carry on as an event i'm sure.
I'm pretty sure attendance was down massively last year.
