Dead2009 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 https://www.gameinformer.com/2020/03/11/report-e3-2020-to-be-canceled Ars Technica is reporting through multiple sources that the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) will cancel this year's E3 trade show in Los Angeles. The website was informed last night, and shortly after Ars was tipped off publisher Devolver tweeted: "Cancel your E3 Flights and hotels, y'all." Later, Bloomberg ran a story that included that the official cancelation announcement from the ESA will happen today, March 11, at 9:30 a.m. Pacific according to "a person familiar with the matter." Bloomberg is further reporting that the ESA has sent a private memo to partners that says it is considering holding E3 as an online event this summer. If E3 is indeed canceled, it would be the latest domino to fall in a chain of events created by the coronavirus that has caused game delays, companies sending workers home, and the postponement of GDC from this month, among other disruptions. kingpotato and DC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to bring that up in Missouri. A lot of the lunatics here are going on and on about the coronavirus being no more serious than a runny nose. I'm not trying to get in a political debate, but they're republicans. There's also both republicans and democrats that are trying to educate them that the coronavirus is a serious disease, but they won't budge from their lunacy. And they go nuclear in the attacks on anyone that challenges their idiotic and ignorant opinion. Political parties aside, I just wish people would accept facts, without making themselves the authority on something they know nothing about.

skyfire Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I am not surprised. there does not seem to be anything going on lately and reasonably so. I think they should postpone upto june. God knows what may happen during the rainy season in some places at that time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
