I hear what you're saying, but it is still speculation saying that 'E3 is dead' until we know more. The only valid comment is "E3 2020 is dead". The format of E3 may well change in the future....but I personally do not think the E3 event will die outright

Yeah, but at leas they giving people plenty of heads up. I was listening to a podcast where they got invited to an event and they cancelted the event and didn't tell them until it was too late to cancel the plane tickets. they had upto 48 hours to cancel, they found out at hour 40.
I never used the words "almost guarantee" in my original statement I said probably which means it's more like to happen then not, not that it's definitely going to happen. I'm no doctor but I don't think it's crazy to say there is still a while left before we've heard the end of Coronavirus and should that be the case then, yeah they almost certainly will be delayed.
Right now we are in the probably stage.
June-July is the almost certain stage.
hopefully they all put out directs. feel bad for the people who were looking forward to going there.
Once the election is over and trump is out, then yea we can cancel it.
Could easily see last year being the last e3. I won't miss it at this point.
This. I don't care about your shitty stage shows with awkward presenters. Just show announce your game, show a trailer, preferably gameplay, and give the date. All the hype cycle shit can go away forever.
The way it exists now has been spiraling downhill for years, whatever definition you want to use as "e3 is dead" is up to you but the show will not exist in its current format thus the thing is dead.
The other person I quoted originally said "almost guarantee".
You said "almost certain". Basically the same thing dude.
Well, nintendo kind of has....when they actually have directs at least.
100%, especially since smaller studios, freelancers, and fans are given enough time to request their refunds. E3 did good with this decision. I wonder if there is a virtual opportunity for E3 this year though.
Nintendo was really ahead of the curve with their directs. I feel bad for the potential loss of revenue for the people that would have worked the event.
Sony dropping out last year really showed how important their presence was. Even in their meh 2017 and awkward but crazy 2018, they always really made e3 feel premium.
honestly? I'd be happy af about that. More time to save up. More time to get launch line ups ready. More time for me to upgrade my PC (assuming that stuff gets in production). More time to play the mountain of stuff from early this year.
Yeah nothing can beat the live event. There's something that always feels a bit artificial about prerecorded streaming events. When it's live you know that anything can happen, and the people on stage are experiencing what you're seeing at the same time.
On the plus side, I'm feeling happy for any devs who no longer have to crunch on hands on demos.
A streaming platform should work on that, it could be a big get
It’s official: E3 2020 has been canceled [Updated]
ESA announces it won't hold massive game marketing event for the first time since 1995.

This sucks. I hate 2020 already.
Silly, everyone knows no one genuniely goes to them and enjoys the live shows! Everyone who claims to have enjoyed the live events are clearly corporate shills who are fake clappers!
The fact that people here are celebrating this disgusts me. Apparently our enjoyment is lesser to theirs and that's apparently a problem.

I feel that is countered out when you have blatant paid people sitting in the main rows and not all genuine excitement.
I was expecting it to get canned long before Corona, frankly. This is just responsible due diligence.
For the last few microsoft shows, the seemed like a lot of ingenuine clapping, like people clapping at phil saying prett standard stuff about things.
Guess that means we tear the entire thing down!
People are using the fake clappers as a reason why the entire event should be eliminated and it's ridiculous.
You know, if this is really the "end of E3" or at least the end for this format of it I gotta ask (maybe someone wants to make a thread about this)...
What year was your favorite or most memorable E3?
Tbh for me it was E3 2006. PS3 launch info, Wii launch info including Mario Galaxy, a lot of memorable moments. It was also the year where I started working so it sticks out to me. That was THE E3 for me.

I hope we get some sort of week of VOD events or something instead, like the Kinda Funny indie showcase.
Damn shame, but understandable.
It'll be interesting to see what the various companies do, I imagine the big 3 will do big livestreams in June, who knows about other publishers though. Hopefully they release plenty of gameplay demo videos.

Being purely subjective, nintendo 2017 because prime 4 and samus returns announced back to back.
Sony 2016 was amazing though, non stop bombs.
