So, you may at least say it gets better each year. ;) From a consumer-standpoint last year was much worse than this E3.

I think the primary objective was to get it back to being a pure trade event, hence the "meetings" format in Santa Monica last year. Everyone moaned about that, so they changed it to this. And now... Quiiick - Yep, although I'm not sure if it was JR or Probst that did it. No idea, Blerk, tbh.

That's why all the publishers have their own events in May now: they need to show the games to retailers. Leipzig works because it's a big consumer event. Have a games trade event in July's pointless - the "trade" saw everything months ago. D3A – May’s when retail starts making decisions about what to stock for Christmas.

July is a pretty stupid time for it. May would be better, but they can't go back to what it was. Quite ironic that John's asking for that, considering EA was one of the driving forces behind changing the show in the first place. They need to make it more relevant.
