Exclusive: E3’s 2021 week-long digital event is planned for June - and it could be partially behind a paywall, VGC understands.

eh, e3 usually sucks anyhow

 

"hey folks, check out these awesome games.....that won't be playable until 2023....2022 if you are lucky"

 

i'll just catch the highlights

I think they already debunked this.  They said on twitter it would remain free and that anyone could watch.

 

I always look forward to E3.  IDGAF.. I think these direct things suck

unless they gave you access to some playable demos of upcoming games somehow (like what you'd get if you attended in person) I would find it hard to justify any type of payment.

ok, that would actually worth checking out.

Apparently they were in talks with Nvidia to allow playable demos through Geforce Now at least on the PC side.

 

Maybe they'll have deals with Sony and MS for some kind of remote play shit?

this would make e3, in general, way better and more interactive for those who can't attend.

There’s a service called parsec that basically allows studios to upload game demos/builds and then give other people and companies the ability to stream them from their end. It’s how a lot of game journos have been previewing games throughout the pandemic. 
 
So that can definitely be utilized for a digital E3
