Pretty inevitable after every major publisher decided it wanted nothing to do with it, and E3's well past having any sort of point anyway, but after only having happened once in the last four years, and the year before that having that massive data leak, you've got to think it's dead for good at this point.

Yup. She's dead forever unless they are able to figure out some sort of digital showcase... which everybody already does anyway. I have a hard time seeing it survive in any shape or form.

It was crippled by companies like Nintendo doing their own online showcases, and the pandemic effectively killed it.
It had its time, but as someone increasingly ambivalent about the big stage presentations, I think I'll miss the E3 of the 90s and 00s rather than what it eventually became.

E3 gave us the original Forbidden Door: Then-NJPW star Kenny Omega vs WWE star Xavier Woods, flanked by the Elite and New Day, in Street Fighter V. It also gave us whatever the hell this was.  |

It was an outdated model anyways, it’s time was up.

I'm with everyone else. It used to be a very good way for everyone to centralize their coverage and get their advertising out there, but the internet has made it super easy for companies to directly advertise to the consumer. They don't need the middle man anymore

I honestly don't remember the last time I was excited for E3. Even during the hype for Sonic Frontiers, I had no interest in E3. Other game cons were/are getting more hype instead. E3 has become the "all star games" of video game event.
Also that Wii music video just gave me flashbacks. I remember having a full blown meltdown and vowing to get a PS3 afterwards.

Never really liked it as a kid. I enjoyed the information after the fact but watching it was miserable. Even when people would be like “this company DEFINITELY won E3 this year!!” it was always a lousy presentation with a couple interesting announcements sandwiched between Black Eyed Peas performances and cameos from Mr. Caffeine or whatever other inane stuff they had cooked up.

It's dead. Every company has their own showcase they can do, and the Game Awards have the big announcements now.
RIP E3.

It's funny how other big video game trade shows and conferences like GDC, Gamescom, and TGS still do well. And then you have fan conventions like the PAX's and MAGFest that always do well.
E3 just couldn't get out of its own way for one reason or another.

E3 became outmoded for its purpose. Doesn't mean they can't figure out how to do it again down the line, but for now, it'd have just been kind of pathetic. |

This whole thing makes me wonder if there is going to be a sequel, E4.
The first E was decent but the second one was just not good and I can't imagine how bad the third E would have been, then again maybe by E4 they would have fixed the things that made E2 as bad as it was so you never know.
