The famed Electronic Entertainment Expo, better known as E3, is closing. What was once an iconic event for gamers has fallen on tough times since Covid, and it just never recovered. Even before them it was struggling. What can I say, gamers are fickle beasts, and what was once exciting yesterday is passé today.
In what I imagine was a tear-filled statement E3 said:
“After more than two decades of hosting an event that has served as a central showcase for the U.S. and global video game industry, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has decided to bring E3 to a close. ESA remains focused on advocating for ESA member companies and the industry workforce who fuel positive cultural and economic impact every day.”
So rest in peace E3….that is until someone buys the assets, rebrands, and relaunches it in a few years.
