replyIs this good or bad?

Depends on your perspective. For a lot of press, it could be really good. For certain publishers, it could be good; for others, bad. For gamers, it depends if you like the E3 insanity or would prefer coverage that's more spaced out and digestible.

It depends how exclusive it is. I would love this sort of thing if it meant it allowed press to actually play games in a reasonable setting, not overrun by people who aren't there to actually work. However, if it's going to be exclusive to the point where only the top few media conglomerates have access, it's obviously a bad call. I'd be surprised if that latter option happens though, since publishers already hold their own events for those organizations, so another one would be redundant.

Publishers seem to have been doing a pretty good job recently of making sure a balance of press, magazines, big news websites, enthusiast sites and even smaller bloggers have been invited to events. They certainly do a better job of keeping the riffraff out of their events than E3 itself.

For the "fanboy" press that used to get free trips, hotels, food and booze as well as the occasional oggle at a booth babe it's death. Right now thousands of guys that run "gaming news" sites are masturbating to booth babe shots from 2 years ago using their own tears as lube.

It depends. It's already difficult for smaller publishers because E3 is so incredibly expensive. We'll just have to see how exclusive it becomes.

What will the world be like without the e3?

More peaceful.

Money probably spent on bobbleheads or something equally asinine.
