Just bury the fucking corpse already, for fuck sakes! Don't do this shit where you promise something that's totally not going to happen.
If this year and last year's presentations are a sign of things to come in 24 and 25, it's going to be even worse. You can't even riff on this shit with friends anymore because it went from hilariously awful to miserably depressing.

Geoff "Greetings Fellow Kids" Keighley's event supplies more than enough video game related cringe, I don't think E3 will be missed.

Summer Games Fest and E3 are only good for cheap indies that don't have the budget to do proper marketing these days
It's entirely worthless for Nintendo, Playstation, Xbox, Ubisoft, EA, and everyone else that can host their own online streams.

It's probably a good thing that the whole thing is dead now. The last versions of the E3 sucked so bad that I don't think it's gonna be missed. But boy, it sure hurts seeing let it go, considering how big of an event was in a distant memory...

ive said it before but ill say it again, the only thing event remotely entertaining about E3 was totalbiscuit's snark-a-thon. now that he has long been dead form ass cancer i see no reason why E3 shouldnt also get ass cancer and die.

E3 hasn't been any good since the PS3/XBox 360 days. For the last 15-odd years it's been the vidya equivalent to the last 20 or so seasons of The Simpsons.

It's surprising that it's lasted this long after Nintendo pulled out; the whole thing is nothing but corporate shilling and virtue signalling now. There is nothing about gaming involved in E3 and most companies don't follow the traditional launch cycle any more, and even if they do most titles publish their teasers to YouTube or other social media.
Let it die already.

E3 is a Dinosaur that was always on borrowed time that should have died 15 years ago. When video game channels started rising up on YouTube is was over. They should have seen this coming when all the video game magazines started dying and channels like G4 became irrelevant. When they started playing Cops and Cheaters instead of video game shows. Traditional video game media has been dying for a while. The online sites killed off the magazines. YouTube and social media killed the need for E3 back in the early 2010's.
I stopped paying attention to E3 in the mid 2000's. Back then the only social media that existed was My Space. Even in the late 2000's video game channels were starting to become a big thing on YouTube. But it was still the early days for video game YouTubers. Things really started rolling in the early 2010's. By the time the mid to late 2010's rolled around there was no real need for E3 and should have been ended. E3 is like one of those old people that just refuses or can't adjust to the times. It needs to go away now. It's pathetic.
E3 has gone the way of must have game culture people standing in lines outside brick and mortar stores to buy a game on release. It's just not needed anymore.

Indie games get more advertisement from someone on YouTube playing the game while screaming like a retard. All those channels that people 10-14 years old like to watch while some Millennial in their then 20's probably 30's now plays a game while screaming like a retard provide far more advertisement than E3 ever will. No one watches E3 anyway.

What I don't fucking understand is why ESA just refuses to outright discontinue E3. They know it's a dead business, yet they do this gay ass game of cancelling E3 for a given year, and now they've went ahead and cancelled E3 for the upcoming two years.
Do they have some hope that in x years it will be profitable to do those again and they're playing a long game or are their ego is just too big to admit that E3 is dead and they artificially keep up some illusion that it's not completely dead by merely cancelling upcoming events?

E3 should have died with arcades. What they were putting out after that was literally gay (no booth babes) and just a venue for console garbage, lame trailers, and the globohomo agenda. Press F to spit on its grave. I have more respect for the retard who built his own Titanic sub with used parts he bought off Amazon.

there is still some use for big events to steal your competitor's spotlight or ride their coattails. but outside of that there wasn't really much use for it anymore.
e3 was peak cringekino, you knew it would be shit and you watched it with some folks while killing your liver playing drinking bingo.
however the last few years it was simply boring and sad (like videogames in general), so what's the point?

I‘ll bet they’re keeping E3 2026 tentative because it’ll be six years since the announcement of the PS5 & XSXS, so they’re betting on a big new console announcement to save E3. Even though they all have well-established in-house filming studios for such a thing. Not to mention, this console generation will probably be prolonged due to having such a slow start, so I doubt we‘ll see a new one starting in ‘26.

That would mean E3 would have died in the 90's sometime because that's about time arcades died. I think mid to late 90's. I never remember seeing an arcade back in the mid to late 90's. I spent a lot of time in malls with my parents and never saw an arcade back then. I might have seen some arcade machines but not an actual arcade. They did Booth Babes for a while. Though they didn't show as much skin as they did before. Like I said, I stopped paying attention to E3 in the mid 2000's. But I remember seeing pictures of the E3 events from the late 90's to the early 2000's and it was always a big deal back then. Yes, they always had a few pictures of the booth babes. Console gaming was a big thing because it was cheaper to get into than PC gaming. Most people would have consoles back then. So of course consoles were the main thing for E3. I have built several gaming PC's and I am very pro PC gaming. But I know it's not as cheap and easily accessible as consoles at least for most people. From the early 2000's to the late 2000's most of the mantra was that PC gaming was dead or dying. Most games were going console only and if there was a PC port it would happen later on. The PC was losing exclusives. You did see a PC gaming revitalization till the early 2010's. When you could still get a decent GPU for $200-300. Most games were getting PC ports the same day as a console release. You had stuff like the $500 or $700 console killing PC builds called potato mashers. The rise of crypto currency and the miner faggots kind of killed all that.
It doesn't matter what E3 had or didn't have. It's just not needed anymore and hasn't been needed for well over a decade.
I kind of doubt that. If any company wants to steal the thunder from a rival all they have to do is make an announcement online in their own event. Which is what they are doing now and have been doing for years. They don't need E3 anymore. I like how retards think Rockstar would announce GTA 6 news at E3 or anywhere else when Rockstar always drops their big announcements themselves through social media platforms. E3 is just played out. I haven't paid attention to E3 in over a decade. I wouldn't even hate watch it. Being an older millennial and not caring for a lot of things in modern life I kind of taken to some of it well at for video games. I get most of my video game news from YouTube videos. I don't really care if it's a day or so late. Reviews from the same place or Steam. I kind of moved on and got over the whole E3 thing.
2035 will be E3's time to shine. You just wait. It's going to pure fucking magic.
