We'll see how this goes. Major companies were already moving away from E3 and a live stream might not be all that appealing when they can use Youtube or Twitch or something to accomplish the same without paying a fee to the ESA. The show was already expensive enough that small devs either couldn't afford it or could only justify it because it was a chance to rub elbows with people with deeper pockets.

This sounds like the plan is to offer something more organized compared to how game companies handled last year, but I don't know that that is worth the cost.

agreed.
E3 was slowly losing people and back to back yrs without physical form may be enough that others just save $ and do their own thing.
