Will E3 die? Jason Schreyer made a disappointing prediction about the future of the main gaming exhibition in the event of the cancellation of E3 2023

Edition editor Kotaku Jason Schreyer considers possible cancellation E3 2023 in connection with the spread of coronavirus, it can very painfully hit the main game exhibition in the world or even lead to a complete loss of its relevance. He wrote about this on his page on Twitter.

Some large companies have long refused to attend the event or hold lavish shows at it, focusing on their own events, and others may follow the example of their colleagues in subsequent years, the journalist is sure.

Today, tradition is completely hindering many people from completely abandoning the E3, however, if the E3 2023 is canceled, manufacturers will have to talk about their gaming innovations in the format of online presentations, as Sony, for example, does, and this is where a complete revaluation of values ​​can happen, Schreier notes.

“I expect that most companies will see how little they actually lose without visiting E3 (and how much money they save on this), and will follow Sony’s lead in finally abandoning E3,” wrote Kotaku editor.

Earlier this week the organizers of E3 2023 announcedthat they continue to prepare for the exhibition as usual and expressed hope that they will not have to be canceled, however, California authorities introduced an emergency regime in the region because of coronavirus this night. The number of deaths from COVID-19 in the United States is growing. New cases have been reported directly in the Los Angeles area, where E3 is traditionally held.

The organizers of the exhibition “closely monitor the situation and interact with the authorities.”
