These commercials aren't necessary anymore with 90% of consumer attention funneled into the same zombified franchises that have been around for 20 years and with all new major titles being live services. So many more people are online now but everything feels smaller than ever.

I truly miss the days where me and my chums in school eagerly gossiped about all the news dripping out of E3 and getting excited for the new games coming out. Now it's just endless trash. Indie games on Steam are the only ones doing anything new

Not to mention game development hell is now the expectation and it’s now rare to have an amazing game just come out in mere months. The masses will have waited 15 YEARS for GTAVI for crying out loud.

Going to miss taking the piss with friends and playing cringe drinking games though

hasn't it always been the case that 90% of game sales were actually made to low-info game buyers? Like you said, people just buying every COD and FIFA that comes out. And parents buying games for their kids.

I assume its more to do with companies adopting the "Nintendo Direct" way of showing upcoming games. People also don't give a shit what a game journo has to say about a trailer he watched, they can just discuss it themselves on reddit or whatever

And absolutely nothing of value was lost. E3's been obsolete for at least 15 years. The dead horse finally stopped kicking.

Just another fracture. Why pay the money to be doxed by the ESA when you could just make a compilation sent directly to every device?

No more big budget LGBTQIAP+∞&BEYOND inclusion live shows leading up to big cinematic reveals of cookie cutter games trying to replicate marvel humor where you're meant to play as some frizzy haired black woman taking the fight to whitey? Finally.
