  • EA Skipping E3 2016 to Hold Own EA Play Event

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]3354[/ATTACH]
    EA has decided to skip out on E3 2016 in favor of holding their own event that they're calling EA Play. EA says that it's "time to play" and promises an emphasis on putting their players first for this event.
    We're excited to announce EA Play, an all-new event experience in Los Angeles and London this June built around our players and bringing our latest games to life.

    Join us on June 12 - 14 for an all-new experience with some of the biggest games of the year.

    Putting Our Players First
    Our players are the driving force behind everything we do. So this summer, we’re opening up our world to you with unique new live events in Los Angeles and London. We’ll bring the new games, we’ll bring the demos, we’ll bring the competition... and you get to go hands-on. Or join us online and immerse yourself to experience some of our biggest games of the year. Let’s live to play together.

    Live or Online - Join Us Either Way
    • Players Attending Live - Experience hands-on game demos, live events, competition, special guest appearances, exclusive memorabilia and more.

    • Players Viewing Online - An experience that will take you into our event, livestreams for all our new games, and behind-the-scenes content.

    Press Conference Live & Online: June 12, 1 p.m. PT/9 p.m. BST

    The EA Play website has a "sign up" button that will allow you to "stay informed." It's probably just signing up for a newsletter or email reminders about the above events.

      I dont know. I feel this is another way to try to control things around them. They keep pulling out of everything they dont directly control.

      Maybe its just me.

      I'm trying to think of this as BlizzCon, QuakeCon, or... VALVe. Put a stronger focus on marketing you can have more control over. Well... I'm trying to anyways. Not convinced this is the way to go, but I'm telling myself it worked for other companies. I guess? Maybe I'll warm up to the idea later.

      Edit: Now that I think about VALVe, sooner or later they'll do SteamCon, as well as bring back the industry-only event like PAX Dev, and probably allow their event to be partially experienced in VR, but at an early stage where it'll be exactly the same as CD-ROM full motion videos, except in high definition, inserting more commas to keep this run-on sentence going, choo-choo, can't stop the train, one more comma, done.
