After more than two decades of E3, each one bigger than the last, the time has come to say goodbye.

Thanks for the memories.

E3 was great before communication became constant. E3 used to be one of the only times you'd be able to hear from the developers themselves, even if they were highly choreographed speeches and interviews we still got something. Social media kind of took some of that magic away since we could hear from developers all the time. It took away their motivation to carefully craft messages and shows since they can now communicate with fans basically all the time.
