When people say that E 3 is comming, they dont only reference the exposition itself, but rather the whole fanfare around it.It references the celebration of gaming, that starts with the companies conferences and ends with the last day of the exposition itself.

You may not like this definition, but much like a language, which is defined by which words of the speakers of said language invent and accept as word and as something correct, E3 and the whole event around it is defined the by the gaming community as a whole, wether you agree with it or not.As I said, it is what it is.

4 days remeaining until E3 guys!

Lol, what? It doesn't matter if what you say is factually true as long as everyone around you believes it's true it is?

*sigh* No.

What we are discussing here are not scientific facts, that if proven scientifically, its true regardless of opinion.We are discussing when "festivities" about E3 begin and when the general concenssus of when the E3 begins, but not when the exposition by itself begins.About wether E3 is defined by only the exposition that is held during three days, or wether E3 is defined by all the fanfare that the companies make around it(conferences, game reveals and so on).

And Im arguing for in favor of the latter.Much like language which is defined by the own people that speak it(They create new words and slurs, which is latter incorporated to dictionaries and be deemed as official), festivities and events are also define by the people that attend it and watch it, much like cultural festivities.

Anyways, I know that you wont agree with me, and that your opinion is already formed about this, and anything I say wont persuade you.However, if you wish to see how much in the minority you are, just go to other forums like Resetera, IGN, Neogaf and so on, and ask/see there how many think E3 starts at Tuesday versus the ones that know it starts with the first conference.

Now, if you wish to continue this conversation, PM me.Otherwise, stop derailing the thread.
