Why the frick would anyone spend millions of dollars and a frickton of resources on E3 press conferences when they could just tweet out their announcement on a tuesday afternoon and it'd get more direct engagement than it ever would've with a massive expensive press conference?
Add in to that how making E3 demos and trailers was also a massive waste of money and time and it becomes very clear why E3 is dead now
Nintendo made everyone realize that you didn't need to go to E3.
I still can't get over that Nintendo was ahead of the curve with directs. Usually they're moronicly way behind the times when it comes to the business side of things.
>I still can't get over that Nintendo was ahead of the curve with directs. Usually they're moronicly way behind the times when it comes to the business side of things.
They were practically forced into doing it because western game journalists were intentionally misreporting on Nintendo's games and systems. So they needed their own way of directly addressing gamers.
Nintendo made everyone realize that you didn't need to go to E3.
Nintendo always went to E3. Then MS started hosting their's event at another venue across the street, then Sony completely bowed out, then covid happened.
They stopped caring about gaming and having fun. Plus, part of the problem is the shoddy economy. The people pulling the strings were not going to risk spending billions of dollars for an event they are not going to get any of their revenue back.
Kari and Gordon look like they're the only ones that enjoy being there
The four other women look like they're just there to push an agenda
Nir has an expression on his face that says "why the hell am I'm even here? I'm so tired"
Jim looks like he's just some random black janitor they pulled from the hallway just to add more diversity to this segment
>spend millions of americANO dollars just to being part of the yearly cringe compilation just to get surpassed by nintendo and their 30 minutes trailer compilation
not that hard to understand dude.
>hurr i said the meme
Nintendo has never "backed out of E3" while it was still a thing, you literal moron. "Not doing a press conference" and "not being at E3" are two different things.
every moron is saying "its because game publishers can just do a live stream and save money" but thats the not the full story, E3 was dying way before covid, a gaming convention that focus ONLY on video games was doomed to fail, E3 was already setting up to change into what their name means ALL electronic entertainment not just games, thats why they had the GOT pannel and the simpsons panel. Problem is LA already has comic con, so no big players were gonna do their reveals at E3 you wouldn't see a marvel panel or a dc panel, the people at reedpop thought they could get those big companies to come but no they all chose comic con instead.
Thats what happened. Since they were abandoning gaming, gaming moved on from E3.
same thing >no they are different
basically there is already a big summer convention on the west coast a month after e3 no big name companies the ones E3 wanted were going to choose it over comic con
Being an event for insiders by industry insiders is no longer profitable or in anyones interest.
You invite everyone from the industry and charge a premium for it all while the average consumer has jackshit to try and see there.
Gamescom meanwhile is doing fine because its run by the industry FOR the consumers who go there and actually can try out and play new/upcoming titles and make some unique experiences.
People say >Online streams killed it
But if that was the case Gamescom, TGS and all the other gaming events outside of E3 would be dead as well - But they actually make bigger numbers each year. (except during covid for obvious reasons)
game companies got large enough to put on thier own shows for a week in june. if you're sony, ms, activision, bamco, etc. you don't need permission from the esa to have a show, you're big enough to make your own show and throw it on youtube.
It never strayed away from being too corporate, logistically it's also moronic to host a huge venue when most people will watch it while shitting at home
People were begging for it to come back when they canceled everything in 2020, it comes back, and now people don't want it anymore. It should've stayed dead.
How stupid are people, really? The entire industry moved beyond coming together in one cramped convention center. Why the frick would numerous companies saving millions by just having their own live streams deicide to waste money and go back to a dated format??
E3 is not a "show" it was an event, stop spamming this moronation. Keighley's thing is a series of small livestreams and a singular one that's comparable to a press con, the Sate of Play, Nintendo Direct, and Xbox Showcase that came out during the same time aren't a part of it in the same way they were a major part of e3, you're a fricking moron.
Press cons take place days before the floor open, I know you're a fricking gen z moron but a "trade SHOW" is not a "TELEVISED show". Prior to like 2010 it was strictly an industry show and before 2017 they didn't let public people buy tickets, you needed at least a minor connection to the industry. Trade Shows are where people go to mingle and show off tech to the press and get the shareholders/higher-ups excited, E3 turning into a consumer fanfest is against the very nature of the concept. The fact you moronic fricks keep acting as if it's only these press conferences shows how fricking stupid it has gotten.
The straw that broke the camel's back was probably them bailing on 2022 for no good reason. They tried playing the MUH COBID card, which was already on the way out months beforehand.
I'd argue that 2021 did because people realized then that we don't need platforms and events like E3 and G4. for game announcements and vidiya related topics. Summer Game fest is going to end up the same way within the Next 5-10 years so we may as well enjoy that while it last.
Is it really gone when we get >Sony presentation >Xbox presentation >Nintendo presentation >Capcom presentation >Summer Games Fest
Within the same time frame that E3 was?
What made E3 special is a group of people could go to gaming events to play video game demos for upcoming titles and just enjoy the nonsensical presentations all-together. Now companies are split and just do their own thing which killed the magic. You can say "nothing changed" but E3 back in the days used to hit different.
>Press conference with a crowd
Now days this is imposible, who wants to try to hype a bunch of no fun people, the best they got were a little wooo here and there, the new people killed E3.
The public convention and demos are gone forever basically. Very few people here has ever attended but like any big convention for something you spend too much time in, the experience sticks in your soul.
The only people that got to experience the real E3 were the ones with connections that let them inside the staff and booth members only section. If you just got to stand in line for hours to try out a game for 15 minutes then you weren't experiencing the real E3.
E3 would have still had people go to it even with nintendo directs and the like.
What really killed E3 were the trannies and fun police basically sanitizing the event and making it no fun allowed. Taking away a reason for people to even go to E3 is what killed E3.
i fricking hate woketards with a burning passion but i don't see how they played a role in destroying it
what really killed it was people having a moronic obsession with efficiency
which is what kills a lot of shit
i mean, why go to an event that's actually special, have fun, maybe even meet someone, see live showcases
when you can be a braindead idiot sitting on your desk and mindlessly watching a video showcasing the new games
who cares if it's a less fulfilling experience then actually going to a real event filled with real people, it's much easier, and that's all that morons care about
meh. summer game fest is dependent on lazy devs that dont do enough marketing for their product on their own or keighly sold them for one more year that summer game fest is still needed
everyone has learned that trade shows are no longer needed
they're eventually going to learn that virtual trade shows aren't needed either
he's on borrowed time too
Good, gaming is heali... >GOTY shitshow is still a thing >Companies do their own streams in the same timeframe anyway
Nothing changed, the circlejerk only moved in a different place
I don't get why the homosexuals here are upset about E3 dying. I understand how cool and popular it was, even I would turn on to G4 to watch E3 coverage. E3 turned to cringe and rapidly started to die. E3 should stay dead along with G4, nothing lasts forever
unironically go woke go broke. Pozzed culture is just a disease that sucks the fun out of everything. Which is ironic because now is the most prostitute apologist era
I don't think I've bought a game since E3 died. I personally loved the cultural embrace of E3's festivities every year and it somehow anchored my interest in vidya. Now I just visit this board out of habit.
you're seriously underestimating the number of people here, if Ganker could actually consistently control shit like twitter, the government would've nuked this site years ago
it truly is over huh?
it's the end of an era
>We will NEVER see cringekino like this ever again
Everything I love is fading away
This without a hint of irony.
What went so horribly wrong?
Twitter

eh I think you're overestimating twitter's representation of the average consumer

Nah, it's basic logistics.
Do everything online= cheaper, safer & more control

not that hard to understand dude.
Companies realised they could just make their own showcases. Also covid.
We've been in a recession since 2020
Nintendo made everyone realize that you didn't need to go to E3.
Only correct answer, E3 went straight downhill the second they started backing out each year.
>hurr i said the meme
Nintendo has never "backed out of E3" while it was still a thing, you literal moron. "Not doing a press conference" and "not being at E3" are two different things.
Companies want to showcase their own shit on their own dime
Blame avarice and human nature
>her
>have women and Black folk in games
>treat them the same you treat men and crackers
there
you don't need a goddamn doctor to figure that out
Covid and Directs/Online presentations being easier to do overall.
We lose on the silly cringe but at least we get gaming info.
We get less info as a result, that and it's spread across the entire year and not at a set time everyone can look forward to.
every moron is saying "its because game publishers can just do a live stream and save money" but thats the not the full story, E3 was dying way before covid, a gaming convention that focus ONLY on video games was doomed to fail, E3 was already setting up to change into what their name means ALL electronic entertainment not just games, thats why they had the GOT pannel and the simpsons panel.

you mean san diego?

When Nintendo pulled out for the first time
game companies got large enough to put on thier own shows for a week in june. if you're sony, ms, activision, bamco, etc. you don't need permission from the esa to have a show, you're big enough to make your own show and throw it on youtube.
The conventions became no fun allowed business only and died because of it.
after booth babes were cut, it was all downhill from there
It never strayed away from being too corporate, logistically it's also moronic to host a huge venue when most people will watch it while shitting at home
People were begging for it to come back when they canceled everything in 2020, it comes back, and now people don't want it anymore. It should've stayed dead.
The gaming industry has fallen.
rip
rolling in the grave
s
I'm so glad it's dead, it has always been a train wreck of shitty filer. What we have now is far superior.
How stupid are people, really? The entire industry moved beyond coming together in one cramped convention center. Why the frick would numerous companies saving millions by just having their own live streams deicide to waste money and go back to a dated format??
Oh no.
Anyway...
now we get this shit at the game awards and summer game fest so what's the difference? the pozzed shit isn't going away it'll just be at more events
>pic
2009 was pretty decent for gaming all things considered
2009 was the dark ages
Wait, his nickname is “Pablo drag queen”? Did he just give up when it came to his Alias?
Both are cringe
it gets worse every year just like Ganker.
how can Ganker get any worse?
You'll find out in a year.
I'm pretty sure they said E3 was over and there would never be another one since like 2020 or so.
How is this news?
They were desperately trying to revive it but Nintendo and Sony have both moved on to do their own thing.
Let's be honest E3 peaked in 2010 with the Konami Press Conference
>Hi
>more then one million troops
No more fun. Only enlistments to the army for the next war are allowed.
Geoff Keighley's shows are the new E3. It has simply been usurped by a superior show.
E3 is not a "show" it was an event, stop spamming this moronation. Keighley's thing is a series of small livestreams and a singular one that's comparable to a press con, the Sate of Play, Nintendo Direct, and Xbox Showcase that came out during the same time aren't a part of it in the same way they were a major part of e3, you're a fricking moron.
>E3 is not a "show"
lol?
Did you miss the part where the hosts do shitty unfunny skits before and after every single reveal?
Press cons take place days before the floor open, I know you're a fricking gen z moron but a "trade SHOW" is not a "TELEVISED show".

>you're a fricking gen z moron
projecting much?
>E3 turning into a consumer fanfest is against the very nature of the concept
lol?
>the press conferences were le cringe so e3 should die
this has been said this like twelve times already, homosexual
Dorito Pope's Summer Fest already replaced it.
How else Xbox will show games?
roasties ruin everything
never forget, gatekeeping is a GOOD thing
her profile pic seems like she's a mom with kids not a young girl
People really thought it was coming back? It's super done for.
The straw that broke the camel's back was probably them bailing on 2022 for no good reason. They tried playing the MUH COBID card, which was already on the way out months beforehand.

>hit different
you're not fooling anyone zoomie
you weren't even conceived "back in the day"
This thing you're talking about is still done at larger gaming conventions.
souless as frick
Press conference with a crowd > Pre-taped green screen presentation
>Press conference with a crowd
Now days this is imposible, who wants to try to hype a bunch of no fun people, the best they got were a little wooo here and there, the new people killed E3.
>press conference with a crowd with their employees in the front rows
The public convention and demos are gone forever basically. Very few people here has ever attended but like any big convention for something you spend too much time in, the experience sticks in your soul.

It was outdated and too embarrassing to watch.
i knew there was no way E3 would be coming back
but this is still sad to hear
It's over. Gaming is officially dead. There's no going back.
This is great news.
It has been dead for nearly 10 years.
Jeff must be happy that his little show will remain relevant for the next couple of years
He won.
worst timeline
Frito-Lay has been pulling the strings this entire time
meh. summer game fest is dependent on lazy devs that dont do enough marketing for their product on their own or keighly sold them for one more year that summer game fest is still needed
everyone has learned that trade shows are no longer needed
they're eventually going to learn that virtual trade shows aren't needed either
he's on borrowed time too
Why are they announcing it as if there was a chance for 2026? Just make it official that E3 isn't a thing anymore
Was anyone expecting E3 to come back? It's dead
Good, gaming is heali...
>GOTY shitshow is still a thing

I don't get why the homosexuals here are upset about E3 dying. I understand how cool and popular it was, even I would turn on to G4 to watch E3 coverage. E3 turned to cringe and rapidly started to die. E3 should stay dead along with G4, nothing lasts forever
if you're one of the ones that say you miss e3 you are part of the problem
>governmental
It was sanitized anyway. SGF dose the samething for news and trailers and for hands on public demos we've got PAX now.
Remember when the 3DS was revealed and the demos to them were attached to booth babes
How did we go from E3 is over forever to now it is canceled for 2 years?
unironically go woke go broke. Pozzed culture is just a disease that sucks the fun out of everything. Which is ironic because now is the most prostitute apologist era
I don't think I've bought a game since E3 died. I personally loved the cultural embrace of E3's festivities every year and it somehow anchored my interest in vidya. Now I just visit this board out of habit.
Can't wait to see what they have in store for E3 2026!
You homosexuals should have gatekept
It wasn't our fault. E3 should have moved out of California in 2020 and just head to Florida.
you're seriously underestimating the number of people here, if Ganker could actually consistently control shit like twitter, the government would've nuked this site years ago
It was already cancelled for this year, who thought it wouldn't be cancelled forever?
