I think e3 was already dead for years and was serving few purposes for the industry with the way it was going. But it was nice to have a whole week where the all seeing eye of all media would turn to gaming. It was like Gamers Kwanzaa, a damn good way to celebrate in our own way -on our own terms- for many many years.
So, in June I will feel and empty hole that I don't think anyone will fill very well. I always liked the fire hose of information being pumped out in June, but truly in the last six years it was the stage shows by the console makers and the big developers that actually mattered. A few things tricked out or were clarified later in the week, but I will miss having stage shows pumping out new information on after the other. Its was still fun to see how teh world viewed what Sony, MS, and Nintendo showed off in comparison.
