This is not a story of decadence or selflessness, but of heroes and villains.
There Cancellation of E3 It was seen for a few hours as a story of irrelevance, or rather, the progressive loss of interest in the industry because of the Los Angeles fair, but I think it’s more of a hero story and bad guys. The heroes are all those people who have worked hard at all previous editions of the convention to let us enjoy the hype… and the villain is Geoff Keighley.
I mean that figuratively, of course. I have nothing to hate for this man.

GOG around the neck, for some reason
The RED Project CD digital store posted a response to the tweet with which E3 announced its own cancellation with one of those jokes that caught my eye for just being from such a large organization. Under the message of A when the E4? The Poles did not miss the opportunity to poke the corpse of the organization with a stick to see if it was still alive or not:
Everything is not bormas… or yes
I could spend the day gathering feedback from the community as such, but I’ve only found two camps: those who say it’s okay and those who do. And since there’s no need to fill this with meaningless images, I’ll leave you with the tweet from the OperaGX account, because I think that pretty much sums up how a lot of people feel about it all:
