Dec. 13, 2023E3, which has arguably been the biggest gaming event for around two decades, is officially dead. The ESA (Entertainment Software Association) has revealed that the annual event has permanently been canceled via an official X post and theE3 website.
In a statement toThe Washington Post, Stanley Pierre-Louis, CEO of ESA, said,
We know it’s difficult to say goodbye to such a beloved event, but it’s the right thing to do given the new opportunities our industry has to reach fans and partners.
It is suggested that the biggest reason for the demise of E3 can be accredited to the fact that companies and developers have much easier and cost-effective ways of reaching the audience, which includes their own online events and gaming announcements.
