| bigtakilla said: I do think that E3 is still an important time. I think what you refer to as far as social media and company specific events are the future of said E3, but I think having a time frame where all companies come together and show everyone their plans for the next year will never be irrelevant. But I'm fine if we disagree on that. |
I don't think E3 has much of a future at all once this is in full swing tbh, companies like Square Enix are already holding their own events like they did with FFXV to announce the release date and all something that years ago would have been exclusive to E3 events. We're moving away from the era of a set time frame to one were companies will do events more strategically in the year, E3 has two massive problems that contributes to this, one it costs companies a lot of money to be there and two it's shown to have no influence on the performance of products in the market, that is determined by other factors. If you want an idea of the future you've already seen it in NDs, more companies at some point will adopt this approach and will only turn up at events if they feel like it or if the costs are covered.
