If the cancellation is officially announced AND implemented, then that means there will be no E3 convention for this year for the VERY 1st time now.
This would be unsurprising. Another victim of the great panic of 2020. Historians will look back on this like the crash of ā29 and wonder why we kept doing irrational things to make the problem worse.
Having said that, the developers will find other avenues to deliver their announcements and basically the only interest I have ever had in E3 is the game trailers that come out of it.

Have to admit I honestly feel the same, Iāve never really been interested in anything else from the event apart from game announcements, trailers and gameplay.

It is a panic, without question, but at this point, I kinda feel like itās better safe than sorry. Not ābuy all the toilet paper at Wal-Martā safe, which I still have zero understanding of how thatās even a thing thatās happening, but more of a āmaybe we donāt have giant gatherings during what the head of the WHO stopped just short of calling a global pandemicā kind of safe.
So I get it. Itās kind of a bummer to not have the crowds and the cheering and the celebration that comes with E3 when weāre in a console launch year, but as Andy said, weāll still have the announcements. Things are still gonna happen.
EDIT: Oh never mind, the WHO just said that it can be classified as a pandemic.

I know but Iām sure Sony has a way of showing off their stuff without attending anything. Same can be said with Microsoft and Nintendo.
