Yesterday, our sister site Next Generation broke an that the Entertainment Software Association was effectively canceling the mega-form💙at of the Electronic Entertain🧸ment Expo, otherwise known as E3.

The cancellation was due to a number of major publishers pulling out of the deafening annual Los Angeles spectacle. Nintendo, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft, Sony Computer Entertainment America and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Electronic Arts all called it quits after the May 2006 event. 🀅The simultaneous mass exodus of the𝓰 majors served to permanently defang the prohibitively expensive affair.

This m💃orning the ESA was prompted to announce that the E3 show would go on, but with a much smaller footprint, called "the new E3Expo".

We don't know what that means, but it likely spells a sharp downturn for purv🌸eyors of ear plugs, short shorts and flesh-colored eye 🍌candy.
