Despite the pomp and ceremony, after last year's muddled and vapid expo, is E3 still a relevant event? It's something that rings especially true when most of this year's showings are titles long announced or obvious additions to established franchises. But not everyone shares this view.
The BNBGAMING crew discuss.
Digital intelligence and analytics firm Sensor Tower has released its State of Gaming 2026 report, revealing flat growth in mobile game revenue, double-digit growth for PC and console gaming, and another record year for PC, with more games sold on Steam than ever before.
Kotaku writes: "A Resident Evil Requiem review published by long-standing UK gaming news site Videogamer has been removed from Metacritic after readers pointed out it was written by a fake AI journalist who doesn’t actually exist. Videogamer‘s human masthead was gutted last week, sources tell Kotaku, and the site has been publishing apparent genAI slop ever since."
Genuinely well done on metacritic for taking such an immediate hard stance. Not often, if at all, you see that these days. Credit where it’s due.
This is really sad on so many levels. Not least of all the fact that all the human lost their jobs to a language model. Can we block all content coming from Videogamer site. Can we make a rule that content sumitted to N4G must be greated by a human being.
I'm gonna report every Videogamer article I see on N4G from now on so just putting it out there.
Isnt videogamer one of the N4G owner run sites?
Seems to fit their MO to cut corners and push cheap dribble.
It is amazing but I'm starting to slightly miss the moron gaming press we had in the 2010s because at least they were human.
Game and advertising companies have been told to 'get their houses in order' and be more transparent about the presence of loot boxes in mobile titles.
I wonder why it wouldn't be all of a sudden lol? E3 is still relevant.
I think it is. It cuts down on all the rumors and bs you hear through out the year once its happened.
There is a lot of excitement for E3 this year... It's definitely still relevant
E3 articles every hour on the hour (including this one) for 3 months leading up to the actual event? Easily the leakiest time of the year with rumors flying around like Kryll? Yea I think someone still feels its relevant.
Monday still seems so far away. Can't wait for the madness to begin and get stuck on overdrive.
