madmaltese★ 2,548 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 No E3 Coliseum for the first time in 25 years also. E3's slow demise continues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,906 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I read they want to allow more paid entrants and have "experiences" where you watch influencers and celebs play games. Sounds fucking garbage especially after the ESA doxxed everyone last year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

By the sounds of Geoff's statement, there's some really shitty politics going on there, so if anything it just makes it all less surprising. It's probably not that Sony WANTED to ditch it... just that it was becoming less and less of something that Sony wanted to be a part of. I wonder which other companies will decide to put the final nail in the coffin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Something is definitely happening behind the scenes. Sony though do now appear to be making the correct decision. Looks a lot better having others leave after you then to be the last one there standing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
