E3 2022 to take place online-only due to COVID concerns

Schedule_web.jpg

E3 is going all-digital again this year, following concerns regarding COVID-19 cases increasing. The ESA confirmed to media outlets that E3 2022 will be following in the footsteps of last year's E3 by taking place purely through livestreams of press conferences. This is the third year in a row that COVID has impacted the annual event, with E3 having been entirely canceled in 2020. This change isn't likely to affect the press conferences themselves, as they're usually livestreamed to most viewers, though a digital event means less unique coverage of specific games from media outlets and individual attendees. Right now, another major trade show, CES 2022, is taking place as usual in Las Vegas despite the concerns of recent outbreaks. E3 2022 was initially planned to return to the Los Angeles Convention Center, according to a statement from the ESA last year, but whether or not we'll see a return to an in-person event for E3 conventions in the future remains to be seen.

Considering most if not all companies have access to computer and video editing software. And can't stream stuff in a retarded number of platforms, is there a mandatory need to burn the enormous amounts of money to go to E3, to "network"?

Most of it is wasted money that goes for hookers and blow.

Companies are better of doing events like Nintendo and others. Then send demos/review units to publications and let it ride.

Spaces like E3 will evantually die. Covid just made it clear how redundant it has become.

So you didn’t answer either question but I know I am not going to get any actual answers of you. Have fun with your weird conspiracies and shit.

Do you pull that same shit on your teacher when he hands you a book on your first day of class and says,"read!"?

For anyone interested in actually being interested, you can pretty much pick a video, almost any video from the World Economic Forum's web page, and it's going to be loaded with the same quasi-marxist, Capitalism must be under our control and out of the hands of the individual, wear your masks, take your vaccine, get ready for Transhumanism with bio-digital technologies to monitor your wear abouts, your mood, your physical health, criminal record, and ability to have a heart beat. You will be linked in by "smart" phones and other computers at first, then as the technology works its way around legal loop holes, it will become a standard aspect of your vaccines, and it will have the ability to add A.I. to our bio system, allowing us to have a sort of technological telepathy where in the internet will be a part of our minds, and we will all be connected, permanently at birth.

This is being sold under the fear of covid, global warming, and hate groups, among other things, and accompanied with promises of longer, healthier lives, no more cripples, no more down syndrome children, etc. We will have perfect designer babies, and we will have our breeding capabilities limited so as to make room for more golf courses so our elite masters have a place to clear their minds and plot and plan.

Oh, and they all happen to be a bunch of perverts who knowingly or unknowly are part of the old Saturnian cults, hence the blood letting, child molesting, transgender confusion, and all manner of things that tend to miss the mark when it comes to being truly happy, healthy, loving, and alive.

I knew it was going to be conspiracy nonsense and here we are! Conspiracy nonsense with no basis in reality.

Don't flatter yourself. You post nonsense and expect to be taken seriously.

I've outgrown the expectation of being taken seriously, but in hind sight, I'm usually right.

Real talk... it's too bad the vaccines don't actually stop people from getting it. The ball was dropped somewhere.
Vaccines don't stop illnesses from spreading, they just lessen the effects and boost the immune system. It's not really the ball being dropped, that just how vaccines have always worked. The issue is people assume that getting vaccinated is enough to fight against Covid and stop practicing other means of prevention, like wearing a mask, washing their hands, avoiding large gatherings, and staying home when sick.

The definition of a vaccine, before the CDC changed it, was to give immunity to a certain disease. What's been out there isn't a vaccine but a more enhanced booster shot to help the immune system from infection, and from what I've seen, not a very good one at that, but anyone is free to take it or not.

Did the CDC change this or has the definition been expanded upon and clarified? It would be only partly correct to say that it makes you "immune" because viruses mutate and change as they spread and vaccines are made to help counteract and fight against that. But the more they spread, the less effective a vaccine will become without regular boosters and good practices. Some viruses also mutant and spread more rapidly than others, which makes full immunity near impossible, and this is where vaccinations are intended to help lessen the severity over actual immunity. The Covid vaccines are just immunity boosters because of the nature of Covid, this is similar to how flu shots work. It does help if more people get vaccinated to help slow the spread and mutation of the virus.

Then I suggest we should use another term other than vaccine since vaccine means basically a cure to something and that you are immune. Use something else that means one's protection is up but not fully immune.

Bad take. There's a reason why polio and smallpox isn't a thing and it's not because of masks and social distancing. Vaccines used to work.
