    Darn, E3 is probably never coming back, at least not in the form it used to be. Every major studio seems content on doing virtual conferences now and from what I hear, prepping an E3 demo was an incredibly draining and distracting task for game devs anyways.

    I always loved watching E3 videos as a kid, shame that, now that I am older and can actually go to one, they’re all canceled.

        Lol, I still remember the E3 trailer for Killzone 2 that Sony tried to pass off as in-game footage. Good times.

      Yeah having your own digital event is way cheaper than on stage. But I’m gonna miss all the pre/post show and interview random games.

      The end of an era, I too wanted to go to one once I was older, but that’s not happening by the looks of it now
