Originally Published 2 years ago — by GamesIndustry.biz
After more than two decades, E3, the gaming industry's most prominent trade show, has come to an end. The show had been losing relevance in recent years, with key companies like Sony and Microsoft pulling out and attendance declining. While some in the industry believe that the need for a large-scale event like E3 is no longer necessary, others argue that it provided a crucial moment for the industry to come together and showcase its games to the world. The future of gaming events remains uncertain, with opinions divided on whether existing events like Summer Game Fest and Gamescom can fill the void left by E3.
