Yes, I’m happy to see that E3 is coming back next summer in a massively scaled down format.

E3 had turned into a mouth breathing fanboy collective. Good luck getting to see any Nintendo stuff at E3 in the past 5 years. If you did, it means you’re more patient than me, or you had exhibitor access (which I must say is damn nice).

Now E3 will be what it’s supposed to be. Developers, publishers, and media - all by invitation only. This means that all of us lame-o programmers who really have very little business attending in the first place, won’t be able to take 2 or 3 days off on the company because it’s E3. This seems fair, and good, to me. It’s a few more days of actual work improving our products.

Also, maybe it’ll be quieter.
