Don' t expect much from E3 this year - May 03, 2008 13:51

Rumored developer displeasure with Entertainment Software Association president Mike Gallagher may be partially to blame for nearly half a dozen member publishers dropping out of this year' s E3 conference, Kotaku has learned.

This morning we broke the news that not only are Vivendi and Activision not attending this year' s E3 they' ve both decided to drop out of the association all together. We' ve since learned that NCSoft, Her Interactive and id Software have all decided not to attend this year' s show, though they are all remaining members of the association.

Several industry sources who wish to remain anonymous say Gallagher is in part to blame for issues surrounding this year' s E3.
Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter also believes that the drop-outs are spurred by decisions made by Gallagher, who he says is less knowledgeable and sophisticated than his predecessor, Doug Lowenstein.


It' s even more dead than before. Not much to see here anymore.

Yeah titties are important, they go hand in hand with computer games.

The last year E3 was still alive.

GDC, Liepsig and TGS it is then. I never had any real hope of a resurgence in the first place.

Damn right!
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

I predict this E3 to totally kick ass just because Kotaku says it won' t.
