The Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, is a major event in the video game industry where publishers, developers, media, and fans come together to showcase the latest and greatest games and technologies. However, recent concerns about the future of the event have been growing, with more and more publishers dropping out, such as Sega and Tencent, joining the ranks of Nintendo, Xbox, Sony, and Ubisoft in skipping E3 2023.
IGN, a prominent video game news source, has reached out to various individuals in publishing and PR who have expressed concern about the status of the event. Many insiders have stated that they have not heard of anyone else who is planning to attend, and some have voiced frustration at the lack of communication from the ESA and organizer ReedPop about what to expect from the show.
Some industry experts describe the situation as a waiting game, with everyone hesitant to be the first to jump ship, but time is running out, with only two months left until the scheduled event in Los Angeles. As a result, the mood surrounding E3 2023 is quite different from previous years, with a sense of uncertainty about whether the show will even take place. If it does, there are fears that it may end up being a lackluster and expensive event that fails to capture the attention of the industry.
Despite the concerns surrounding E3, the video game industry is sure to continue evolving and adapting, with new events and innovative ways of showcasing upcoming games and technologies. Whether E3 continues to be a major player in the industry or not remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the world of video games will continue to thrive and push the boundaries of what is possible.
