Christopher Buffa (Indie Obscura): With E3 becoming less important each year, opening its doors to the public could revitalize the show.
Epic CEO confirms Fortnite will return to Google Play stores globally as a result of these changes
The Epic Games Store continues to dish out the freebies with two more free titles for you.
The United States' National Videogame Museum has acquired one of the earliest prototypes of the Nintendo PlayStation system that never came out.
Nintendo's biggest mistake was turning Sony down... the two of them together would have been a completely unstoppable force in the industry. Now they compete.
it would have been a very different landscape I think if those two had partnered. Who knows what the gaming world would look like. One of those "if I had a crystal ball" scenario to see what could have been.
Well...I sure hope so, because it would be a shame to see E3 die out.
Save E3 from what
I don't think E3 needs to be saved, it's still a the biggest deal regarding anything games wise.
I certainly hope so. E3 is the best time of the year.
Unfortunately what's happening is that companies are starting to realize there's more return in taking the "direct to consumer" approach. E3 is a massive investment. it's very costly, especially for smaller companies.
Also, sadly, websites like NeoGAF and 4chan have created a generation of angry, spoiled, entitled little shits that literally hate everything. These folks will spend all their time shitting on everything for various reasons, whether it's because they're console warriors or because they're just miserable people. This unfortunately greatly lessens the impact and importance of E3. Why spend millions of dollars to exhibit at the show when the public is just going to say how much they hate everything. Once again we can thank NeoGAF for ruining the fun and enjoyment of gaming for everyone.
Does it matter and does anyone care
