E3 2.0's Winners and Losers
The 'Death' of E3: Winners and Losers
GameDailyBiz weighs in with a look at who might benefit and who might not from the downsizing and repositioning of gaming megashow E3.
Surprisingly, in GameDailyBiz's view, print pubs should benefit, and online sites should have some trouble, in covering the show next year.
But suffering the most will be the lower rungs of the editorial ladder:
Biggest Losers: Junior Staffers
Are they still going to even get to go to the new, more intimate show?
Are they still going to get to have once-a-year conversations with scantily clad women?
Are they still going to see the good E3 games?
Are they still going to get a share of that sweet, sweet per-diem?
Are they still going to get that chance show floor encounter with cast member of Good Times?
Are they still going to get their one-bed share of an LA hotel for three days?
Are they still going to be able to scoop up copious amount of freebies to sell on Ebay?
The answer, I'm afraid, may be no.
Why doesn't anyone ever think about the junior staffers?
