After Ubisoft, Tencent and Sega also announce that they will not participate in the event.
We informed you yesterday that Ubisoft will not be attending E3 this year. This is in addition to Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony are already planning their individual digital events. Well, today we found out that Sega and Tencent will also be absent, which confirms that this E3 will be left aside by the industry giants. So what will be left at E3 2023 to draw the crowds? The answer may be found in the survey carried out by the American site IGN. IGN spoke to several prominent companies in the industry and the message from all of them was clear: “There is no way this event is happening!”
This would be due to one factor in particular: the covid crisis. As everyone knows, E3 couldn’t take place two years in a row. This caused numerous dismissals in the event teams. Savings that could have been canceled today, had it not been for the current crisis in the technology sector. Dismissal on one side and hiring on the otherwhile digital distribution is becoming popular, it is not very interesting for publishers.
E3 has been a very representative event, for many years, of the future of the video game world. Many new projects were presented there, in an unmissable “show” for many fans. But times are changing the “physical” is erased, in favor of “digital”. It’s sad to say, but there are chances The E3 is a victim of this change in consumer habits.
