E3 er blevet aflyst i år, og selvom at alle de store giganter i spilbranchen udtrykte deres dybfølte sorg over at se det ske, så afholder de allesammen deres egne respektive events i præcis samme tidsrum som E3 ville være blevet afviklet i.
Spørger du Strauss Zelnick, så forholder det sig simpelthen sådan at giganter som EA, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, ja dem allesammen, de har taget E3 for givet, og derfor er det gået som det er gået. Under deres seneste finansbriefing blev Zelnick spurgt om E3's skæbne, og han sagde dette:
"I think for a period of time, some of the large players in the business took E3 for granted and decided to step away from the show, but still be in the publicity business at the same time and in the same location, and I think that is problematic. I think you either have to support the show, or there isn't going to be a show. [Take Two has] always been a supporter of E3 and I think it served a great purpose as a show for the media, as a show for investors, as a show for distribution partners and consumers who are avid about the business, 'prosumers,' if you will. That served a great purpose for us."
Foretrækker du de intense, tætpakkede E3-dage, eller er den nuværende opsætning bedre?
