"What a sad list, they are becoming irrelevant!"
"They just wanted attention! 'Look at me!!!'"

I agree, they should totally change that perception by NOT posting a list of attending companies.

No, that's not how this works. You made the original claim so it's on you to explain it.

If you have something to show me from 3-4 years ago (four months before E3, regarding major publishers, which this thread is about), you can show me.

My only interest is Xbox conference and Nintendo Threehouse. Probably I will watch once it finished and not live streaming.

Konami not being on the list is strange since they've made more money than most of the publishers on the list. They usually show and announce PES around E3.

Don't know why some people on this forum keep trying to push their agenda on everyone that E3 is dying. Repeating it doesn't make it any more true.

And it's ironic considering that E3 is this forums busiest time of the year.
E3 is dying because of the esa, after they were responsible for the journalists info being leaked that's what killed e3

Basically everyone is there except Sony who has mostly shown the same stuff for the previous 3-4 years they were there and appear to not have much to show for this year outside Last of Us and Ghost...which we've seen.

So I'm not sure why it's a bad showing?

There are 40 publishers who release enough games to rank on Metacritic's yearly publisher lists. In the past, everyone one of them would be at E3 and then some. Now... we're down to ten and multiple console or ecosystem players are missing.

Alright I've seen multiple people here act like only 10 publishers are showing up.

Do you guys read the post or not? IGN said "There's still unannounced publishers that will be there".

That does not mean anything right? Those attendees can still decide to scale down their presence this E3 compared to previous years.

No, we're not "down to ten."

The majority of publishers who were there last year will be there this year.

It's February. We're already past the deadline for publishers to sign up for convention space. The "other publishers" is who the ESA will be negotiating with to fill floor space.

Why are you putting everything in quotations and spelling it wrong. I'd be happy to see Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson up on stage at e3 talking about his favorite games. His favorite game is Mario, he loves Tetris, and his favorite game again is Assassins Creed? Seems like he has good taste in games.
? Or... none of what he said would be real, because he would be getting paid to have an identifier with the target audience he was sent to seduce?

Who are doing conferences?

Xbox (obviously)
Bethesda?
Square-Enix?
Ubisoft

Anyone else? I know EA, but they aren't on the list.

ESA won't list EA since technically they are organizing their own conference off site. They're not using ESA as the middleman. So that'll be part of the E3 conversation without actually having to pay the ESA.

I know that EA won't be on the list for that reason, I wasn't trying to say it was odd that they were off the list. I am talking conferences around E3 time.

Unless Capcom is pushing another whack E3 where they had only monster hunter. They likely have a reveal tied with Xbox/Sony (We all know there will be a state of play before E3) to show off their next big game. Gonna bet on Street Fighter due to the capcom cup stuff.

So much this ^

Tired of reading so many comments from people claiming the show is dead. The Geoff Keighley thread the other day was painful to read.
