Apparently Joystiq has the inside word. We’re expected to hear in the next couple of days that E3 will no longer be held. At least not the over-the-top, extravagant, bright shiny lights and enormous fancy booths E3 as it’s come to be in the recent past.

I can’t say I’m surprised- having attended the past two E3’s, I can personally vouch for the amount of money that publishers waste at this thing, hoping for the press that really just isn’t worth it. By all means, make it more about the games, and less about the show.

Anyway, I’ll always be proud to say that I attended the last flashy E3.
