E3 2023 has officially been canceled

supergamer368 · Mar 30, 2023

Sucks that E3 is likely never returning to the "big thing" it once was. I always wanted to go to E3 at least once. The livestreams that replaced it are convenient, but something just isn't the same. Especially since they're not all in one place, like some devs are a part of summer games fest, but others do their own streams, and it's hard to find a convenient schedule of when everything is.

Not too long now and no one will even know what an "E3" was

Wow, finally. Corpse of a show.

I really HATE ESA so much. I hope ESA will be gone soon.

For the limited limelight every company gets by competing with upcoming content in such a event, nobody wants excessive competition. RIP E3, you won't be missed

In a war-torn world full of strifebamd suffering, it warms the cockles of my heart to see such good news.

YouTube killed E3 years ago. Regardless, I hope a different live event will mature eventually.

One question. Was E3 offering money (directly) to host big 3 or asking money from them instead?

#RIPBOZO im not a fan of geoff keighley's summer games show either though something's just off about him

Nintendo's press conference was always the highlight of E3 for me, and they do a Direct around that time anyway and their Nintendo Treehouse thing which pretty much give me the same experience. So I don't think I'll miss E3.
That said, I was hoping I could go to E3 some day to experience it for myself since they opened it to the public, and it looks like I may never get that chance because I don't think E3 is coming back, which makes me kinda sad. E3 was one of my top 3 reasons to visit the US, but eh, I still have other reasons.
Realistically, going to E3 would've been many hours of waiting in queue every day and sore feet, with little time actually spent on the reasons why I wanted to go there in the first place, but I still think it would've been a once in a lifetime experience.

E3?
Extinct, Exterminated, Eradicated?

It is weird how early Nintendo figure out that streaming was the way to go.

So, the only similar event Is the Game Awards, right?

I'll miss the hype and excitement of E3. Especially the big three trying to outdo each others conferences. So many timeless moments. It truly was the gamers Christmas.

I understand why it's been cancelled but replacing the event with streams randomly scattered throughout the year just isn't the same.

Not to mention the lag that follows I remember one where so many people tuned in they could hardly keep up.

I thought it already was canceled.

Who even cares about E3 anymore. Shit has been garbage for years.

Sad to see that a show that was once so beloved by the gaming community has come to this. Can't say we didn't see it coming though. Won't be surprised if we soon learn that it's just never happening again.

"In them good ol' days we'd see game announcements, but then one day it turned to shit and everything changed."

That's the difference from the community vs corporate.

E3 a few weeks from now: "We are confident we will be able to go ahead with E3 in 2024 and hope to see you all there with us for our grand return"

Dax_Fame · Mar 31, 2023

I'm so sad and shocked but then I think about it for a moment and I'm not at all surprised

It's been trashy for a hot minute but the death of something nostalgic always gets me :wacko:
