E3 to be no more?!??!?!?!?!

[zola]

It happens every year in May--one of the biggest, if not the biggest trade show for people in the video game industry.

The buzz is it's going to be cancelled

I'm really bummed--I had hoped to be able attend one over the next few years.

Okay, you're going to get sick of hearing from me on this subject. :-p

I don't know if you read Penny Arcade, but it just updated with a relevant (and funny!) strip:

LOL! I'm not sick of the posts at all. I just think it's a shame--I'm working on becoming a part of the gaming industry(progammer) and that was one of my things I really wanted to do, after the years of hearing about it and all.

I used to run an online game review magazine (it was quite awhile ago), so I managed to go to E3 for several years as press... it was such a wonderful experience! I wouldn't be surprised to find something else eventually pop up to replace it, because it's just such a perfect way to drum up publicity for nearly everything game related.
