ReedPop Explores Sale of Leading Gaming Websites and Publications

ReedPop, the parent company of Gamer Network, is exploring the potential sale of its UK-based gaming media business, which includes Eurogamer, GamesIndustry.biz, VG247, Rock Paper Shotgun, and Dicebreaker. The decision comes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on events, leading to the closure of USGamer and EGX Rezzed. ReedPop believes that new ownership will provide better conditions for the growth of the business, but the sale does not affect other ReedPop properties such as MCM ComicCon and EGX.

E3's Uncertain Future: ReedPop and ESA Split, Organizer Exits, and Location Abandoned

ReedPop and the ESA have announced that they will no longer be working together on future E3 events. The ESA has also informed the Los Angeles Convention Center that there will not be a show there in 2024, although plans for a 2024 event are not cancelled. The ESA is working on a reinvention of the E3 show for 2025. ReedPop had signed a multi-year deal for E3 in 2023, but the planned show was cancelled. The decision to end the relationship was mutual, and ReedPop looks forward to seeing the evolution of E3 under the ESA's direction.

E3 Loses Two More Years to Cancellations.

E3 2024 and 2025 have been cancelled, according to the Los Angeles City Tourism Board. E3's new organizer ReedPop claimed that it "simply did not garner the sustained interest necessary to execute it in a way that would showcase the size, strength, and impact of our industry". The future of the once-flagship event of the games industry doesn't look bright, and it's possible revival plans could involve relocating outside of Los Angeles. In E3's absence, many smaller events took place in LA this month, including producer Geoff Keighley's rival Summer Game Fest, Ubisoft Forward, and an Xbox Showcase.

The Uncertain Future of E3: A Look Back at Its Best Moments and Current Challenges.

The cancellation of E3 2023 has led to speculation that the event may not return. The pandemic, economic headwinds, and publishers' experimentation with balancing in-person events with digital marketing streams have contributed to the collapse in support for the event. The E3 brand is also tarnished due to poorly conceived efforts to make the show a public event and a disastrous data leak. The gaming industry needs to conduct a brutally honest accounting of the event's actual value if it is ever to come back.
