The organizer of E3 2020, ESA, is seeking feedback on this year's show, and if it thinks your suggestions are good enough, then it will come true.
I have a good idea; don't give away 2,000 contact details about the media and other classified media. Then, don't ignore the issue in public and private as you did last year.
When a media organization's representative contacts you to resolve the issue, or at least to ensure that it doesn't happen again, don't bury your head in the sand and refuse to acknowledge it. Considered guilty. Don't do that, that's terrible.
And, don't worry about the real stress that the leak will place on the people involved. Individuals have to bother changing phone numbers, remove lists from contact lists, and get better security in their own homes. They live with their partner and children. They must assure their loved ones that their loved ones will not be threatened on social media and will hang around or stalk in real life. Don't ignore all of them.
The European Space Agency said it has re-established the registration process with third-party security companies, and this year it will collect minimal data from journalists and the press (and possibly everyone else who is registered for this struggling gaming event). But to use the cliché, that is to close the stable door of the horse after the horse is fastened. It hasn't changed anything. Last year's information will always be there.
Again, ESA didn't apologize, but only half-heartedly acknowledged that its media registration "has received a lot of attention last summer." This is definitely a damn cheek.
"Regaining your trust and support is our priority," ESA said today. No, that's not right. Last August, you should deal with this issue first, rather than waiting for six months, in the hope that things will calm down, and you can quietly announce some news to generate a little excitement.
E3 and ESA don't trust me at all. I realized I was only one person and E3 would not miss me-but I would never go back to that frustrating, outdated and exhausting performance.
