A logical step. E3 itself has long been more likely just a tradition and without it nothing prevents the usual broadcast with the same news and shows of games.
E3 in recent years has been dying and there is a feeling that the current cancellation for her will be a fatal. Of course, it’s a shame that the feeling of a large event is lost, but the time and money will spend less than the time and money.
Well, I would not say, Devolver last year led online broadcasts and everyone was fine. And loners, how they nailed to Microsoft or Sony, will do it. And instead of long queues, you can release demos in the stories on the day of broadcasting.
Well, I do not agree. When people come to the exhibition, they do not sit all the time on only one location, they explore the exhibition and can see the game, or something else that will be interested in accidentally. And when you watch the broadcasts of certain companies, you can score on some other where you would like what you like.
And just the format of the show, the holiday, beautiful people in costumes, gifts of gifts, buying merchants, this is also a lot of their charming.
You don’t confuse her with a gamerist and some? E3 is not an open exhibition, they mainly allow journalists, or bloggers at the invitation of participating publishers. Just like people will not get there so simply. And its main essence in conferences, which are held on a schedule one after another. In any case, if you wish, you can see everything, if you are there at least live, at least just watching the broadcast. But about the fact that it was a kind of annual holiday, I agree, because even just looking stream, you felt a direct festive mood, as if an epic event has been happening, where most publishers and developers gathered from around the world. Ordinary individual streams of this effect, of course, will not give. But nevertheless, it was precisely as a gaming exhibition E3 has long lost. With the development of the Internet there is no longer any reason to fly through the half of the world to just show your game.
