EA bowed out

 

 

in favour of having their own thing just over the street from E3, in the same time period as E3.

It's effectively an E3 event.

effectively - actually but not officially or explicitely.

AKA "not."

Effectively = not.

It's not an E3 event. It's their own thing. Doesn't matter the details, because at the end of the day, it's entirely independant of E3.

Effectively = actually but not officially or explicitly

 

The thing about definitions is that you can't just pick one of the words in your definition and pretend it means that.

 

I could just as easily spin it to:

Effectively = actually

 

It's actually an E3 event!

 

My point with this is that doing what you just did is a crap way of argumenting, and not fit for a proper discussion.

 

For all I care, every publisher could dropout of E3, and instead have their own events in exactly the same area and the exact same week. Then we don't have to call it E3, call it US Games Week. Heck, it doesn't have to have an official name, we can call it game announcement christmas. However that still wouldn't diminish the importance of that week when it comes to video game announcements and the video game industry in general. It would have the same media coverage and hype related to it.
