E3 2019 Was A Giant Stall-for-Time Event...

I'm getting this impression more and more. Very little gameplay. Most notable titles were either barely shown or not shown at all. My guess is that everyone's putting their money on 2020.

Yeah, so far its been a whole lot of nothing. Seemed kinda empty compared to previous years, we've had Google (a first timer I believe), microsoft, bethesda and devolver digital today, Tomorrow we have Ubi and square enix, then the following day we have nintendo. It just feels empty. I know EA had their own thing, but it wasn't part of e3 and sony's a no-show this year.

Because everything relevant is gonna be released on 2020, this is just more teasing. There's really nothing relevant being released this year, except for Borderlands 3, but it seems that might be pushed back too.

E3 has become largely redundant...which is actually kind of a bad thing. Now they all want to have their own events and announcements for everything. That means control, the more control the Producers have over the flow of Information, the worse it is for us. At the same Time, E3 was also just a Hypefest in it's last few years of mattering.

The last few years I didn't even realize it was going on until it was generally already over. The same this time. Years ago I'd watch the Streams on Gametrailers, so from my perspective, it's lost most of it's value.

I stopped watching E3/industry trade shows a bit before Gamergate. I don't feel the need to be lied to on an annual basis, thanks.
