Peter Moore - Bring The Gamers Back To E3
Posted by XanTium | July 25 13:11 EST | News Category: GamingGeneral
From kotaku.com: [QUOTE] Sega US boss Simon Jeffery wasn't the only big name in the industry who felt that this year's E3 Expo lacked a certain livelihood. Former Microsoft tattoo bearer and current EA Sports head man Peter Moore says that last week's event was "soulless and lacking an epicenter". All is not lost though. In a post on his official blog late last night, Moore assures us that the problems can be fixed, and that getting the fans involved is the key.
"We're confident that we can work with the ESA to make this right. There are important meetings ahead that we think will be substantive and be productive in finding the right path forward. Let's invite the community. With the right planning, involving our biggest fans in E3 would bring back some of the raw passion the event has lost." [/QUOTE]

IMO E3 is supposed to be a conference, not a convention.
IMO, "Expo" (as in, Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3) is short for "exposition", meaning "public display". What good is a public display with no public?

I dont see why they didnt like the big busy crowded E3.
Yeah it was expensive, but it was amazing publicity. There was no other gaming convention that could compare with the excitement, the hype, and the general blow out of attendees.
It was the one convention that EVERYONE wished they could go to.
