I think this is kinda sad. I'd wish for something better to come along and replace it, but that doesn't seem to happen anymore.

Going miss this. Use to watch it live on Twitch it was awesome and exciting. I always wanted to go guess won't be able to do that.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Industry body Entertainment Software Association (ESA), which ran E3, confirmed to the BBC that the event will not go ahead in the future.

It started as a trade show in LA in 1995, just after the launch of the PlayStation and the year before the Nintendo 64 was released.

Its 2005 event unveiled the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and a prototype of the Nintendo Wii.

But as big players such as Nintendo, Ubisoft and Sony began launching new games at their own in-house events, E3 became less relevant and struggled to attract the exclusive announcements it once had.

He added that gaming companies running their own events "are a cheaper, flexible, and more effective way to reach an audience and control the release of news".

"In its heyday E3 was viewed as an unmissable event and was hugely important for pre-launch buzz and the reveal of upcoming games and products.

Only liked it for the cringe.

i thought they already announced this when they called it off earlier this year?
