1 year agoHold up, it was originally supposed to be a trade show for journalists. It’s always been about the big corporations. They’ve always had a dominance over the event.
The problem was that E3 was seen by the public as something to desire access to, as being exclusive and so on. This drove the organising body to open it up to more general access. In doing so, the audience changed, so the content on display changed, and it became a shitty version of PAX.
And that’s what killed it, in turn.
It really doesn’t have to be a “fact of life”, and it isn’t in many places, such as Australia and England – nations with very similar degrees of economic prosperity, and very similar cultures, to the USA.
