Reminder: E3 2022 Cancelled April 2, 2022

We were exercising our vacation time when this news popped up but I just thought I would relay the news that E3 2022 has been cancelled, completely. There will be no onsite show and no online event to compensate.

When I was first starting off writing about video games back when I was in high school, E3 was a mythical event I aspired to attend like some NFL players wished they could play at the Super Bowl. I even was lucky enough to attend a few of the events myself. However, due to a combination of factors combined with the current world events, E3 has had to scale back their show for the past few years, and the streaming events they held instead of their onsite show has not been as successful as other previously-existing offerings.

E3 intends to return in 2023z
