I am quite pleased. Broader attendence moves us back towards something that at least resembles a public show. I mean, if they're allowing anyone with a W2 from some game-or-press related company in, they might as well bite the bullet and start selling tickets
The problem with opening to the public is that E3 is huge. Especially the first time they did it, every gamer who really follows the industry and lives in driving distance of LA will show up, and everyone else will either weep or pony up for airline tickets to LA. Then we have a Mecca problem, where they would have to considerably re-tool the show, which in turn might dilute it as it becomes more about pleasing the consumers in the short run than really giving us a look
Believe me, i would love a public E3, if i didn't live off on the East Coast, or as the industry deems it "wait, Pennsylvanicowhatiwhat? Where's that?" But there are certain problems that would need to be addressed
