Okay, I’m exaggerating as there is something that is called next-generation consoles but apart from that, we’ve got some awful news these past days about this year’s gaming expo. Konami will not be showing their new ‘Fox Engine’ in E3, Rockstar will not attend, Valve is said that it will not announce any new game – despite fans’ hopes for something more than that – and yesterday, Blizzard revealed that they will be not attending E3… again."

Blizzard reveals plans to speed up Diablo releases with more frequent expansions and updates as the franchise moves toward a live-service future.
All I want is a physical disc release of remastered D2 that doesn't require online check-ins.
I've lost complete interest. Too much FOMO with seasons as it is, now it's expansions? No thanks.

A strong majority of quality assurance workers at Blizzard’s Albany and Austin locations overwhelmingly voted to ratify a union contract at Microsoft, ensuring lasting protections in the workplace.

Blizzard has revealed their showcase schedule for 2026.
To be fair, blizzard has blizzcon, and that's always where they announce something big.
Blizzard has no reason to attend E3 since they have blizzcon
They don't need that extra attention from E3.
They'll be doing the annual "rolling in money marathon" they do every year. They do it to raise money for Diablo III awareness. They really are a charitable bunch. :)
Blizzard, Valve and Rockstar are too cool and too big for E3.
These guys make their own parties!
