They have nothing.

Rip e3 I used to get really excited for the event yearly day 1 always fell on a public holiday in Australia and I'd watch everything

I don't blame them.

I would do the same if I had nothing to sell.

Meh...e3 isn't what it use to be these days anyway.

"move in a different direction" maybe they could try selling car insurance, they might find they're better at it.

Burn bitch.
And go bankrupt.

RIP E3

but honestly, you're gonna be sorely missed

But where will they show off all their sweet dance games?

I was genuinely looking forward to Skull & Bones but honestly, Ubisoft just touch things a little too much and end up butchering them.

Beyond Good & Evil?
Skull & Bones?
They ruined Trials
Ghost Recon
Far Cry
WatchDogs

Their games are mediocre and always, ALWAYS hit the fire sale prices by Christmas despite releasing just the month prior (WatchDogs, Assassins Creed, Far Cry being recent examples)

Ubisoft don't have anything ready, and the games they do have are being delayed internally or in development hell.

I can't name anyone noteworthy who is even going to be at E3 at this point.

E3 lost everyone by prioritizing celebrities, streamers, professional athletes, and advertisers over gamers and gameplay. People got sick of it and now even dirty companies like UBIsoft want nothing to do with it.

I give E3 one maybe two more years before you see it go away for good. MS, Sony and Nintendo have all decided to go their own way with personal presentations and I'm sure more big third party developers and publishers will do the same.

I saw this coming the first time Nintendo pulled out and did their direct. There just isn't a need to do a live presentation at an event at a specific time when you can just produce your own and upload to YouTube and any other video site. Even MS and Sony started this with their own types of directs.

It started with Nintendo and Covid definitely played a huge part in it also.

The game industry made E3 because CES was getting too small for game companies to show off their games/consoles. Now most of them shun it, I feel that's a slap in the face to the game convention, and total disrespect. I never liked other game shows, don't care for Summer Game Fest, etc. Looks like E3 will never return to it's former glory, pretty damn sad.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
