Since a bunch of companies opted out of attending E3, it's been cancelled. I remember seeing footage of when E3 first became a event, it was a completely different time. I think Covid really had a impact on the event, sure there was one in 2021 but it was online. I don't think we'll see another E3 event at this point.

Yep and I'm honestly glad because E3 strayed away from a gamer-oriented conference to a gaming release trailer festival with little to no gameplay on most of the announced games. Plus I heard there's another conference which was created by a former member of the E3 team so that puts the nail in the coffin when it comes to E3.

I was unaware that a former member of the E3 team had created another conference but that is good to know. I agree though, it certainly does put as you say, a nail in the coffin. 

It's a shame as I feel with a lot more dedication E3 could have been so much more and it is a shame it went the way that it did but I guess all good things do come to an end eventually and this is what happened with E3.

E3's decline is troubling. With major companies skipping out and hosting their own events, its future seems uncertain. Revamping to focus solely on showcasing games might be key. Engaging smaller developers and creating unique experiences could breathe new life into E3. If they adapt, E3 might reclaim its former glory. But the gaming landscape has shifted; survival depends on innovation and relevance. What do you think they should prioritize to thrive?
