I would piss on the ashes but I wouldn't waste good ammonia that's worth something unlike them..
The worst things E3 did was promote hype culture and give game journalists a higher amount of self importance with the event. Now that it's gone with a whimper, maybe this can also mark more of an uncoupling of California from gaming since that was one of the anchors they had with E3.
The death of E3 is because every gaming company realized they could do their own events for a fraction of the price and effort, with total control to themselves. All of the big 3 are headquartered in either Washington or Cali anyway, so this won't make any difference in that regard.
It'll help bled games journos drier, as they'll need to afford many events instead of one centralized one, but otherwise it'll have little to gain on our end.
I do think that the Game Awards will likely take in a lot of the Journo hype crap, if it doesn't start sinking like the Oscars too.
And yeah, E3 2021 likely became proof that the event's quality had gone down the drain slowly but surely and as such I agree to some degree with any assessment that it was partially responsible for the end of the event.
