Daily Debate: How Do You Feel About E3 Being Cancelled?
Posted on March 11 2020 by Heather Beard
The ESA confirmed Wednesday, March 11th that E3 would unfortunately be canceled due to growing concerns about COVID-19. The Coronavirus has swept the world by storm and has caused many major events to be canceled in the U.S. and abroad. E3 has always been a big summer hit for gamers everywhere; so how do you feel about its cancellation?
Personally I was not able to attend, but I can sympathize with those who had made travel plans, booked plane tickets, and hotels. Hopefully, refunds won’t be too much of a hassle to get. I also feel for the developers and other companies who planned to showcase games to the public. Given that E3 is a huge event that is normally full of people, I think that the ESA made the right call given that the Coronavirus is still a major concern. I’m more bummed for those who planned to attend. I do believe, and it’s fairly certain since it happens every year, that we will still get a Nintendo Direct. Nintendo fans probably haven’t lost very much, and other major companies have decided to host their own events and opt out of E3. I think the best decision for the public’s health has been made, though I’m sure it was a hard decision to make.
