This blows ass-chunks, and from what I'm hearing, it's quite possibly true, and it scares me to death. The news is spreading everywhere out of fear, and if anything happens, we'll know in the morning. I don't have the money to fly to a bunch of small shows, and we all know Nintendo's damned Spaceworld would never leave Japan. Plus, the gamer Christmas would be gone forever.

This is disgusting beyond words, and I do not understand the reasoning. This E3 was the biggest of all time. Not getting enough goddamn media attention? What the fu*k?

I mean, what, does Midway or Atari believe that some silly little press announcement show at their HQ with booze and a big TV screen are going to garner more attention than E3?

*edit*

Update: It's true. They are also planning to hold pre-E3 conferences entirely behind closed doors with atendance in the hunderds, locking out almost all but the most of the major press, and sending us back to 1996. Private conventions suck, are entirely one-sided, and get ignored because we don't give a sh*t, and rightfull so. All those fans screaming for their exclusive propaganda filled Spaceworld are insane. E3 is a middle ground; a place where everyone is equal. Any other setting is just a spawning ground for PR bullsh*t.
