It was inevitable. E3 has been in serious decline anyway.

At least they’re in good company. Broadway, all sports, hell, any arena ESports, etc.

So, like... Wasn't Zooey a character you could only get in Granblue if a) you bought a Japanese SIM card or b) got a Granblue Fantasy-themed credit card?

It's not stupid. It's being cautious because this can get really serious if not properly controlled.

I look forward to E3 every year and would hate for it to be canceled for good. It's an exciting time to preview new games and plan out my shopping list for the next year. Though I never go to conventions and could live with it being a large digital event, I think it would silly not to have a convention. Aren't videogames the most interactive media industry? Hands-on play is key! I don't think the same can be said for events like Comic-Con and Anime Expo. Could you imagine if those events were completely online?

Actually, many conventions could be held online - 30-40 people, then there is less risk of infection.
