Uh, you said yourself it’s a meme, it doesn’t discredit him. He agreed to that Doritos nonsense. 

Also are you interpreting “he worked for years to keep E3 alive and relevant” as simply “he covered E3 and did his job as a journalist”? Because I took it to mean something more than simply covering E3. So no, no one is trying to downplay his 25 years of working E3. But tons of journalists cover E3 every year. The post made it seem as if Dorito Pope did something special to really keep E3 going.

I hope it makes e3 learn some lessons to bring back the industry together in a better shape next year. I want e3 to get over it and comeback as the true and only worldwide gaming event of the year as it's supposed to be.

I don't see E3 surviving past the next 5 years. Nintendo hasn't had a major conference since 2012. Sony is a no-show, now. I get that are still big publishers, but the big three pull a ton of weight.

Kind of irrelevant to what I was originally saying.  I go back to my original statement.  Him not being there makes E3 better.

I wouldn't be so certain. E3 could call the industry VIPs next year and ask them for what they want E3 to be and then comeback with the industry back supporting it.

It seems to me that E3 management is trying to change the show without consulting their true partners: the big 3 and publishers.

Isn't E3 mostly about industry people meeting industry people for business matters? Gamers are just ants allowed to run around.

This is the biggest non-story of the year. You're average person doesn't care about Keighley or even know who he is. He's someone who inserts himself into things and he's starting to do that with Gamescon. No one was watching E3 Coliseum. I wouldn't be surprise if the real reason he's out is his show was done away with. I think this only gain relevancy because Sony is dropping out.

There are some questions about where E3 should go. It wants fans to attend but doesn't want to lose being a super special insider club. The obvious way to "fix" E3 is to do what Gamescom already does. Have Press Only Monday and part of Tuesday and have the rest of it open to the public. ESA doesn't do this because the ESA is run by chimps.
