E3's end hurts gaming. #ripE3

8-Bit Eric (8BE) Today, on 12/12/2023, E3 made a significant announcement - after two decades, they declared a permanent end. This development has raised concerns, as E3 has long been a cornerstone for the gaming industry, providing a substantial platform for both the industry and journalism.

E3 served as a vital hub, offering a centralized and expansive stage for gaming announcements, showcasing new releases, and fostering a sense of community among gamers. With its closure, the gaming industry now appears to be heavily reliant on events like the Game Awards hosted by Geoff Keighley for publicity.

While the Game Awards have their merits, E3's unique format allowed for a concentrated and immersive experience, bringing together developers, journalists, and gamers alike. Its absence may leave a void in the industry, impacting the accessibility and reach of gaming-related news and announcements.

The shift towards relying on alternative platforms raises concerns about the future dynamics of the gaming landscape. The closure of E3 may not only affect the visibility of upcoming games but also alter the way the industry engages with its audience and the media. As the gaming community navigates this change, the impact on the industry's publicity and community-building efforts remains uncertain.
