   E3 is officially dead, and so is the version of the industry it was made for

   Direct online marketing, distribution made an expensive annual show unnecessary.

     @arstechnica I wonder if similar events "have died out" or "take it as a confirmation to die out later."

     It was nice to have one big hype event rather than every publisher doing their own drip feed thing

     @arstechnica Has the show format really died, though?

     Feels to me like E3 specifically has been replaced by other events for people to advertise, such as The Game Awards.
