I heard that developers were complaining it's become too much of a spectacle. E3 isn't made for regular gamers to go in there and see the games, which is why I'll never understand why they played it up for the public with booth babes, huge displays, etc. E3 was made for the press, game developers, etc., which is why you have to be able to prove where you work (or fake it) just to get in.
My father and a coworker (he doesn't work in the industry, but the coworker used to work for Ubisoft), and he said he didn't even really get to play any games because it was so crowded, and half the developers didn't even have games. This is better for developers. They'll spend less money on useless BS, they won't rush as many games, fake footage, or pull anything like that. E3 will go back to being what it was, and we'll all read the coverage in gaming mags.
