Yes. MS, like any major game publisher with presence in USA, is a member of ESA. So they put money to make the E3.yeah, Microsoft is basically part of E3 without paying the E3 guys any money...
just have a both directly next to it, basically having the same effect and maybe even a more visible and bigger presence as well, all while spending less money as well compared to paying into E3
Even if the console makers don't have a booth inside the E3 building they still can have their conference/big stream around this day with big announcements, as they did other years.Without e3, game announcements lose ALL the hype.
Might as well let the fucking lunch lady announce games.

Blame Covid-19 it made the big 3 realize they don’t need E3 anymore.Terrible. Guess we have to live with endless blog posts, tweets and crappy state of plays.
Rest in peace showcases. The industry will never see another live showcase ever again.
I dont know who I blame more for this, Sony or Nintendo.
Smfh
If this is true its finally dead. What a sad waste. Summer Game Fest fucking sucks.If E3 wasn't dead before, it certainly is now lol

What be point of that if e3 is dead lolMS and Nintendo will still have their ‘E3’ type showcases. This news is just saying they won’t participate in the physical expo.
It was on it's way out. Disorganisation and letting anyone and everyone who showed up into the building. Then covid came, which although out of the headlines, is still running rampant.
The disgusting Doritos Pope as always tweets promoting his stream minutes after any remotely bad E3 news. All ESA members, meaning all the main game publishers with presence in USA, should start dropping their support to the Summer Doritos Fest and Doritos Awards events.
Always just seemed like the people most happy to see it die are game "journalists" who got to attend, and wanted an excuse to do less work and still get paid. Boo hoo, how dare you have to go to this event that most of your audience wished they could attend.E3 really was a magical time and I really don't get people who are happy to see it die.

I think Microsoft was still going to go ahead with an E3 show this year until they saw how well their developer-direct show was received last week. More events like that and a few more shadow drops will make it all worthwhile imo.

That is at least part of the joy, imo. E3 used to be a high wire act. The excitement came from not knowing if/when they'd fall to their deaths with one fluffed line, a mistimed joke or a terribly misjudged bit of theatre/anticlimactic spectacle like Ravi Drums.Watching poor public speakers play along to a corporate produced script was always tiresome.

I suspect those days are gone forever now. So raise your glasses and flip your giant enemy crabs with me for one last time as we salute the massive damage.
Exactly there is no longer any reason for them to pay money to E3 or be beholden to E3's scheduling.The funny thing is, all three of them will still do their own thing during E3 Week. But MS will probable do things at the Microsoft Theater.
Games in one specific time of year in a short period easy to follow and not the random whenever we feel like it - we have our own deadline - guess the date approach. Summerlmao then what is the fucking point?
You still get the piece of chicken and shit ton of veggies though. Just, like, buffet style!Oh god so we're getting more of those shitty 40min mini game dumps with a piece of chicken and a shit ton of veggies that no one likes instead of one big show with all the meat.
E3 is a
