The live audience reaction is pretty cool, but I feel like digital events tend to be higher quality. Whenever Nintendo did have the conferences, didn't you ever just feel awkward listening? I don't know what it is, but these people just aren't meant for a stage. It's just as bad with Microsoft and Sony. Also, I get so bored watching their press conferences. The last time Nintendo did an actual conference, I got bored too. Too much talking, they never get to the point. Digital events skip a lot of unnecessary formalities and whatnot. Finally, mistakes are made on stage, while a digital event can be polished to perfection before it's shown. You can do a lot more with digital events too, adding special effects and whatnot, to make things more exciting. The awkwardness and stupid mistakes that happen at conferences make for some great blooper reels each year, but seriously, do you really want to sacrifice so much quality for blooper reels and live audience reactions? What's so great about live audience reactions? I mean I get that when Miyamoto comes on stage with a Hylian Shield and Master Sword to epic Zelda music and the audience cheers for a new Zelda game, there's a sense of pride you get, but really, is it that important? Would you really miss it that much? Shut up, you wouldn't. Trust me, I don't miss it. I mean it's not like I'm ecstatic it's gone, but I'm not sad in the slightest.
Also, fuck the media. If everyone went digital for E3, all the media outlets would become significantly less relevant, and that would be hilarious.
