The End of an Era: E3, the Gaming Industry's Biggest Convention, Closes its Doors
TL;DR Summary
The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has officially announced the closure of E3, the video game industry's biggest convention and media platform, after more than two decades. The decision came after the cancellation of the 2023 edition due to major game developers and companies, including Microsoft and Nintendo, pulling out. E3 had faced competition from companies organizing their own virtual events and hosting direct-to-consumer live streams, questioning the importance of E3 as an in-person event.
