Nothing really to get. These companies have two options: spend millions and do an in-person event or make a YouTube video that gets the same amount of attention and not spend millions

Sucks, but that’s the world in 2023

The industry in my opinion is making a fool of itself. They're letting the biggest publishers hubris take down what once was a great show and what could be again. Sega even wanted to attend, and they are not a small publisher. Then they pulled out because everybody else is jumping ship.

And what is the replacement? Random corny shows when most of the publishers don't even have their shit together.

IGN summer of gaming was absolute shit last year. I won't even bother tuning in this year. The interviews were at some point so bad nobody had anything to say.

You have the game awards which is generally a couple of stars and 100 trailers and it's much much better.

Maybe there's more insight out there, but I don't get it. Every industry has their trade shows and celebration and presenting their wares to the industry and the buying public. But we're getting just a bunch of random YouTube videos which we get all through the year anyway?

Trash.
