After more than two decades of E3, each one bigger than the last, the time has come to say goodbye.

Thanks for the memories.

    Not surprised, it feels like E3 has been on life-support for a while now. Still disappointed to know that it’s over. Back in the day E3 was a highlight of the summer. Maybe it’s just nostalgia talking but classic E3 was just so exciting. All these major announcements dropping at once combined with all the booths showing off new games. It was just great. I guess we have the Game Awards and Summer Games Fest as the big gaming events, but none of them feel quite like E3 use to.

      E3 was great before communication became constant. E3 used to be one of the only times you’d be able to hear from the developers themselves, even if they were highly choreographed speeches and interviews we still got something. Social media kind of took some of that magic away since we could hear from developers all the time. It took away their motivation to carefully craft messages and shows since they can now communicate with fans basically all the time.
