E3 2020: CANCELLED?

based corona virus permanently kills E3

E3 is obsolete in this day and age anyway. Nintendo and Devolver have the right idea with streamed presentations.

>E3 is cancelled
>everyone with E3 announcements just streams them without E3 branding
>E3 isn't cancelled
>they're widely derided for 'forcing' game journos to risk their health by attending
they can't win, they're fucked.

E3's death blow was Nintendo Direct and it has been slowing bleeding out since then. Thanks Ninturds.

THQNoridc don't feel like marketing this game or the Destroy all Humans remake either. It fucking baffles me, considering they're remakes, so they're not spoiling anything. Both of these games are expected to release within the next few months, yet we still don't even have solid release dates.

If things are so fucked that people are cancelling shit even in June I wouldn't even expect digital presentations.

My friend in Britbongia confirms she has corona

E3 2020 was already basically cancelled, most companies had pulled out because of the turbojewing and it was just going to be Macrosoft and what sounded like the most cancerous presentation ever devised full of streamers and e-celebs. I was looking forward to seeing what the worst E3 ever would look like, but it probably won't happen now.

The actual loss is the cringe. No E3 2020 compilation is gonna feel weird and I will probably won't even notice half a year passed. It's like December without Christmas.

>she

When did E3 actually go to shit? Because I know there must have been some specific point where it went from absolutely indispensable to worthless

Marketing and advertising a SpongeBob videogame isn't rocket science. Then again, this is THQNoridc we're talkin'. Have they marketed or even released anything worth a damn? Darksiders 3?

2013

RIP Gundamanon

>Have they marketed or even released anything worth a damn?
no. even Darksiders 3 came and went like a fart in the wind. Because it was both a terrible game, and because they barely advertised it.

I'm still alive actually

When they stopped Gathering of Developers from having porn and hookers at E3. That's when it stopped being about what men want.

Who cares, all that mattered about E3 for consumers and not journos as an event that wasn't even part of E3 as a convention and EA was doing their own thing around the same time without actually participating E3 for years now. Granted it was shit but it's EA. The publishers can organise a stream of announcements and stream it live from whenever they feel like it.

E3 has been shit for a good decade.

How can they still be pretending that E3 2020 is happening, they don't even have anyone running the show anymore.

E3 will be the last of your concerns once society collapses.

The last good E3 was 2011 and that was only because it was gloriously fucking terrible

So honestly at the turn of the 2010's is when it started sucking. Which makes sense, 7th gen in general killed gaming so it killed e3 too

Imagine crying over the fact that you dont get to pay top dollar to view prerendered trailers for games that will be obsolete 2 weeks after release.

>influencer

Can we just nuke the internet? I feel like the world would be a lot better off without it

>is THQNordic worth a damn?
no, I forgot they even exist. I'm excited for SpongeBob Rehydrated regardless.

Do you even enjoy video games?

But you'll never get your video games at E3 ever again.

This is the future you chose.

Nobody was gonna be there regardless.

>coronavirus just keeps killing old people like every other "killer pandemic"
>everyone using it as a convenient excuse to cancel their shitty underperforming conventions without facing backlash from the local businesses that rely on tourist profit to stay afloat and admitting to their investors that they're done for
lol

why hasnt Corona-chan started fucking Africa up yet? It's already started to purge chinks and boomers, but we havent heard much from Africa

So will E3 be cancelled?

Supposedly there is some other kind of virus fucking up eastern Africa right now. There were reports of people bleeding out of their mouths and then dropping dead. Probably a resurgence of ebola.

who are these shills trying to trick people into thinking that coronavirus is nothing to be concerned about?
how much is trump paying you to lie to us?

mine for this year isn't done yet. i will make it in april or may. when will the squidward thread open?

>n-no! NO! IT HAS TO BE REAL!!! I SPENT ALL MY SAVINGS ON NBC SUITS AND TOILET PAPER!!! IT HAS TO BE REAL THIS TIME!!!!! YOU GUYS CANT KEEP DOING THIS TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU GUYS FUCKING TOLD ME THE BOOGALOO WAS HAPPENING THIS TIME

its kinda the opposite.

at first the media was like "its just a flu bro dont worry nothing to worry about"

then suddenly all at once they switch to full panic mode.

thing is, corona is serious. the worst plague earth has ever seen. that doesnt mean we should panic or blame anyone, that doesnt help. We need to just sensibly take care of ourselves and those around us.

cancelling events is essential.
buying extra food but not all at once is essential.
staying indoors may be the only thing that saves your life if the virus is 100% fatal as it might be given its man made.
more likely though its just going to be something that disables 50%+ of the population in a minor way, kills 20% and leaves 30% unscathed until they are infected by the 50% because the virus never goes away.

and nothing of value was lost

>0.02 rubles have been deposited into your account

its not trump, its literal idiots. trumps job is just to keep people calm so the union doesnt dissolve. corona is beyond stopping at this point. it was the moment china sent out infected to every country it could.

trump is lying yes. as he probably should, to hold the country together

the idiots who arent being paid who are everywhere saying its just a flu bro are absolute morons.

>the worst plague earth has ever seen

Combination of the Wu Flu (California after all is run by literal retards who just let a whole bunch of carriers into the country because they think its racist to screen or turn them away), many of the big guys leaving E3 to host their show by themselves, and the people running E3 deciding to diversify by pulling in stupid non-game crap into the primary lineup for some reason.

I'd argue that the black plague was worse.
The thing is, Corona is quite infectious, but has an above-average rate of infected induviduals with low-level or non-existent symptoms, which makes it hard to pin down and track infected vs death rates accurately.

>y-you guys its not trump telling us to stay its THEM
>I-I mean trump IS lying to us but we need to be lied to, THEY want you to panic
nice mental gymnastics

E3 couldn't even do cringe right for several years now.

Depends on when the coronavirus stuff is settled. They have until May at best to decide.

This won't be over any time soon. The last flu pandemic we had lasted over a year and there 60 million infected in the US. The mortality rate was only 0.02% so it was a nothingburger, but corona is going to spread like that with a mortality rate hundreds of times higher.
