Wow, the comments didn't immediately fill up with "I miss the old logo" which is how you *know* a change succeeded. Justin killed it on the new logo, and I have some classy (read: delightfully garish) pink aviators and a tie coming. Probably keeping the hat for now, because it's awesome. The intro music isn't new or altered, but Justin used a different chorus (previous intro used the last chorus, this uses an earlier one), so that's why it sounds a bit different. I'll either record a podcast or put an article up discussing the aesthetic alterations, but the short story is that this is just more "me." Hot pinks and purples have always been my thing, as anyone can testify if they've seen the color schemes I often go for in a videogame's character creator.

But, by your description, even without the social media bullshit, it's a event riddled with long lines and not much to do besides being exposed to a buttload of advertisement. And if that's what E3 is, I'm much better watching the Conferences on Twitch, and going to my local gaming convention (BGS) with my cosplayer friends. It's the same shit, but it'll cost me like 1/20th of the price.

Keanu Reeves also worked because he was involved in the game and appears to be quite taken with the whole game too, not merely appearing in it, actually enjoying it as much as he would if it were a pet project of his own. There are a few people, that developer woman who recently left would be one example, of people who are involved in a game (or a game company) and seem to actually love working there and excited about what they are talking about (and, just as importantly, not talking about things if they aren't genuinely loving it).

This is their little secret, make it all glitzy and innocent-looking, while they touch us in places we don't really want them touching us in, but they do it even so.

Let's not forget the good old days of shareware disks, where we had the problem of making a one-time payment once we send in the payment forms and the fact that these games would be given out for cheap or free, plus the free screensavers and wallpapers that came with them. We clearly need to get our jpegs from lootboxes and microtransactions in order to fully enjoy the game.

@@TheAlison1456 Oh no, it's dying for many other reasons. This just seems to be their NEW gameplan for having people with potential negative opinions standing by the way side as they get spunky personalities who just rattle on being popular in front of their games giving them popular, un critiqued exposure as Jim said. The thing is, they began the downward spiral when the booth babes were bouncing beach balls, and a magical good time was suddenly declared too much for the following year. They then turned E3 into a closed door kind of gig, and so people were only seeing most of anything at those closed door meetings out of light of masses all together. Now they took things out of the shadows a while ago, but by then they already broke the spirit of E3. Now they hope to push the buzz to get those numbers back even further, but then stand them in lines at their ideal show times, and just have popular, chatty, biassed voices just yammer great things about games with no serious critique. Like watching Will Smith look up at a fortnite bus and say 'that's hot' like he did in that youtube video that was given more thumbs down than a spartacus convention through a kaleidoscope. A proper spirited expo for games should be done like a convention. For the fans, some fair questioning, and with people being able to see some time special events, BUT, with plenty of things running around the clock for people to enjoy with questions in minds, and experiences to see that fuel feedback in turn.

Microsoft must have payed several million dollars to pull together their press event in 2013, and all it got them was universal scorn. Interestingly, if memory serves, Nintendo didn't attend E3 all those years ago for the same reason that Sony didn't attend this year - they had nothing to show.
