The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

e3 2023 has been cancelled

Well, I had a feeling this was going to happen, but with this tweet, it's now official.

I question if it's even coming back at this point.

Ouch. I haven’t been since 2018, would be weird if it disappeared forever. I have noticed most game companies are far preferring to just host their own event and make their own announcements, the think Covid just let the cat out of the bag and it’ll be hard for Omni-cons to recover

I have read E3 is over indefinitely. We now have to learn about new releases from the companies themselves or Ign. I must say my heart sinks, I loved E3.

Shoot, I better go to PaxEast one of these days. It's the last major gaming con I've never attended, if it ends up going the way of E3 I might never get to

I’d go to Pax. It really is a shame that gaming news is relegated to articles, YouTube, and websites. I miss G4 TV and X-Play with Morgan Webb and Adam Sessler.
