No More E3

[Professor S]

From a marketing perspective, this is an atrocious move. HORRIBLE. In fact, I can't think of one logical reason from a business perspective why it should be scaled down. E3 is gaming's big event. Its a yearly showcase that garners the industry the closest thing to positive mainstream press that its likely to see in the near future.

Now, if the industry moves the dog and pony show over to another event, say PAX, and they concentrated on just internal industry issues at E3, that wouldn't be a bad move (but I already thought there was a convention like that).

To just end the extravanza that was E3 without another outlet is just stupid. Flat out stupid. But I think you'll just see E3 with another name next year.
