Longtime gaming journalist and personality Geoff Keighley, host and creator of The Game Awards, will not be attending the Electronic Entertainment Expo for the first time in 25 years. To that end, he will not hold the E3 Coliseum event, a highly anticipated newsbreaking platform with panel discussions of game developers providing more details on their biggest titles.

The last leak killed E3 this year

 

[GymWolf]

Seems like a good reason to watch the show even without sony...

 

[OmegaSpear]

Blame Soony.

 

[dolabla]

E3 is dying

? What does that have to do with this article ?

Who the fuck is Geoff Keighley?

 

[Gormless Noodle]

E3 2020 is gonna suck some serious ass isn't it.

 

[Agnostic2020]

Who the fuck is Geoff Keighley?

The person who has video game awards and runs the e3 coliseum show every year

 

[R6Rider]

Sony already has him hosting the PS5 reveal event, duh.

 

[Jtibh]

Who the fuck is Geoff Keighley?

The Pope you have to kiss hands with.

 

[sublimit]

After Sony now Keighley. How will E3 survive a blow like that?

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Sony snagged him for their own event

 

[GymWolf]

? What does that have to do with this article ?

I can't stand the guy so him not being at e3 is positive stuff for me, it was really that difficult to understand?

 

[Birdo]

E3 with less cringe? Count me in!

 

[GymWolf]

Sony snagged him for their own event

I know he is a dear friend and cocksucker of yours, but

 

[Orgullo_De_Escanor]

Let’s be honest, most ppl watch e3 for the cringe. I know I do

 

[wvnative]

Sony snagged him for their own event

This is entirely possible.

 

[R6Rider]

Let’s be honest, most ppl watch e3 for the cringe. I know I do

Just Dance usually brings quality.

 

[SentientStone]

The end is the beginning.
25th year means the end of E3 and the beginning of PS5 reveal thingy... all according to the Bible code.

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

And nothing of value was lost.

 

[Represent.]

He's going all in on The Game Awards. Eventually that will take E3s place completely. Going to be a full weekend complete with press conferences and all.

my bet

 

[Ivory Blood]

I wonder why.

 

[Mr Hyde]

I heard Michael Pachter will replace him.

 

[Nero_PR]

The last leak killed E3 this year

Which leak? About E3 catering to influencers or some shit like that?

 

[ethomaz]

Sony is the one to blame here.

No PlayStation = E3 dead.

Hope he host some Sony events this year.

 

[nikolino840]

I didn't know he was in the past e3 events...

 

[meirl]

Of course. Why should he? Basically a competition of his game awards, so why should he support them? His competition.

 

[Coconutt]

Who the fuck is Geoff Keighley?

He's the Dorito Pope I believe

 

[Bladed Thesis]

He's going all in on The Game Awards. Eventually that will take E3s place completely. Going to be a full weekend complete with press conferences and all.

my bet

This is my belief as well. After the fallout from last year's E3 surrounding doxxing journalists and the changing of how E3 has been presented, I think a competitor arising was the next logical step.

 

[Pantz]

Geoff should have been banned from E3 for leaking the Xbox One X price before Microsofts 2017 E3 show.

 

[Whitecrow]

OK.

 

[TheMan]

It is a shame. E3 was kind of like Christmas in June. That said, this year's pivot towards influencers and youtubers sounds gross and not at all what I expect from them. Geoff has the right idea with the VGAs- non stop trailers, reveals, associated discounts on your favorite storefront. He has a great base to build and expand upon.

 

[xrnzaaas]

E3 with less cringe? Count me in!

Don't you worry, they're already boasting about inviting tons of celebs and influencers. There's going to be plenty of people wanting to shine in the spotlight without knowing what they're doing and talking about.

 

[Flintty]

Guys. I too have an announcement to make. I’m not going to E3 this year, for the first time this year. Just thought I’d be honest with you.

 

[womfalcs3]

That's big news. Thanks for the memories, E3.

 

[Enjay]

E3 is saved by this news.

 

[Heart_Attack]

So an influencer and interviewer thinks hes the shit to announce via PR that hes not attending E3. I get that the event is dying slowly, or more like contracting due to the times. But he needs to get off his high horse.

 

[Nero_PR]

E3 is saved by this news.

At this point, E3's salvation is only death. It is clear as day, the E3 management just want the money from the legion of fools who will follow their e-celebs there. No point for big companies or investors to stay if it doesn't bring them money.

ESA E3 data leak

[Elektro Demon]

I disliked him back in Spike tv/gametrailers days and I continued to dislike him to this day.
So it's a good thing he won't be attending e3 this year. He just has that face you just wanna punch. He's also a mega shill.

 

[Vawn]

Blame Soony.

Or blame E3 for letting everyone's personal information leak to the entire Internet.

 

[Deleted member 740922]

Pretty big headed of him to announce (so pompously) that he won't be going

 

[Iced Arcade]

Geoff thinks of himself awfully high

 

[Vawn]

Geoff should have been banned from E3 for leaking the Xbox One X price before Microsofts 2017 E3 show.

That's not how media journalism works. If Microsoft told him that information with the understanding he couldn't report it, that would be one thing. Him finding that out through his own sources, it is fair game.

This is how all journalism works - not just video games. He didn't owe MS (or any other company) anything.

His parents should have been banned from naming kids until they learn how to spell better though.

The last leak killed E3 this year

Can i get the 411 on this leak?

 

[vpance]

Nobody wants to pay the middle man anymore.

 

[CyberPanda]

Good. He’s annoying af

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

I only watch the conferences anyway, all the other stuff is just rehashing what you have already seen.

Oh except Giant Bomb and Phil Spencer interview, that’s always worth a watch.
