Not a good look for E3. Especially when attendance dropped last year, and companies can easily have a far larger impact doing their own streams and announcements throughout the year https://twitter.com/...

PlayStation will not attend E3 for the second year in a row and opts to instead participate in ‘hundreds of consumer events across the globe’ to showcase upcoming games for PS4 and PS5 (via @GIBiz | https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ ...) https://twitter.com/...

The big companies can control their own events and narratives so no need for trade shows. I imagine the whole concept a trade show has to change as the big companies start to avoid them for lack of ROI. https://twitter.com/...

I can't think of anything more damning of the current state of the show than the current market leader skipping the year of a new console launch https://twitter.com/...
