The common mistake that 99% of people who have never been make is that the show was ever public.
Odd that this would be an outcome since the ESA and IDG went to provide E For All as the public gaming solution and the industry essentially spit on it because they didn't want to be wide open.
Maybe if you tried to read beyond 18+ you would get it.
I guess I should make it much easier to read.
In earlier years, "sales representatives" for each local game / electronics retailer had about 2 invites per store available to go to the show, this would require that the manager authorize those two individuals and that the two pony up the cash $600 if I remember right in 06 to get in to the floor.
This means that the average joe couldn't walk in and go "hiya, lemme in to that thar E3 u gawtz" regardless of being 599 years old they would still tell them to take a hike and that they wasted their time going.
As such 2 per qualified store then authorized by the ESA and being required to produce a large sum of money to get in isn't a public event, it's not even remotely close.
If you still feel that it = public then you're only fooling yourself.
Here's hoping, anyways.
