For Los Angeles’ Electronic Entertainment Expo (a.k.a. “E3,” a.k.a. the thing where they announce a bunch of new video game stuff), the COVID-19 pandemic came at a particularly inopportune time. The event had been desperately fighting off irrelevance for years, as video streaming technology improved right alongside companies like Nintendo realizing how easy it is to just make their own announcements on their own time without having to fight competitors for attention, so when E3 was canceled last year because of the virus it seemed like the final nail in the coffin for an event that nobody really needs anymore. So it shouldn’t be particularly surprising that a report from L.A.’s Board Of The Department Of Convention And Tourism Development Commissioners (have they considered a catchier acronym?) is now saying that the 2021 E3 live show—as in, the event at the Los Angeles Convention Center where a bunch of nerds line up for hours to see whatever Mickey Mouse is doing in the next Kingdom Hearts or to get their Nintendo Power issues signed by the real Super Mario—has also been canceled already.
