I’ve heard the ESA have been vetting a statement about E3’s status with various publishers and vendors, following an emergency meeting to discuss the event’s status/future.https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1237558576110944259 …

Do you think there’s any real danger that one season of everyone doing Nintendo direct style events is enough to kill or at least permanently change the businesses dynamics of E3? I know it’s kind of a meme to say this, but feels like a real possibility.

Of course. Exhibiting at E3 is ludicrously expensive and takes a lot of your team a lot of time to setup. If E3 is postponed or cancelled due to health concerns it will be the perfect time for companies to experiment with 'direct' style broadcasts + they'll realise it's better

It’s only better if it translates into sales, attention. E3 isn’t just press conferences. A lot of behind closed doors presentations, Q and As, and deals as well.

I'm well aware - as many of my biz dev friends will tell you, 95% of the value of E3 is meetings in hotel bars. This is not sustainable for a conference Q+As can be done on streams. "Closed door presentations" don't need to happen in one week in July in Anaheim

E3 doesn’t happen in July or Anaheim and the entire draw is having one place where the major outlets, devs and publishers will all be for a week. You don’t get that with Directs.

june and LA con center, my bad, but the point still stands. if E3 becomes a series of meetings in hotel bars with no live conferences and limited show floor present, that's the spirit of the event "dead" for most attendees + you'll see pubs/platforms/studios shift to other events

Gamescom is a great candidate for shifting resources as E3 continues to decline. it's huge, it has bodies, it's in central europe not the west coast of the US
