Geoff Keighley to Skip E3 2020

Geoff Keighley to Skip E3 2020 - News

by William D'Angelo , posted on 12 February 2020 / 2,532 Views

The producer, creator and host of The Game Awards Geoff Keighley announced via Twitter he will be skipping E3 2020 entirely. That means he will not produce E3 Coliseum or attend it himself.

Read a message from Geoff Keighley below:

For the past 25 years, I have attended every Electronic Entertainment Expo. Covering, hosting, and sharing E3 has always been a highlight of my year, not to mention a defining part of my career.

I’ve debated what to say about E3 2020. While I want to support the developers who will showcase their work, I also need to be open and honest with you, the fans, about precisely what to expect from me.

I have made the difficult decision to decline to produce E3 Coliseum. For the first time in 25 years, I will not be participating in E3.

I look forward to supporting the industry in other ways and at other events in the future.

Imagine in any other industry, a news report based on a tweet based on a reporter not going to a trade show :-P

Yeah... its pretty obvious that the ESA is fucking up E3 big times. Leaks about changes do not please anyone and with major names and labels missing, it will lose a lot of influence. Luckily we have several smaller venues worldwide that can pick up the slack.

Something drastic is clearly changing this year, apparently for the worse. Either that or this is some kind of elaborate prank everyone's pulling.

Makes sense. It offen feels like he's a Sony employee and Sony isn't there either

He seems more like a Kojima groupie than anything, and I guess there's nothing from Kojima this year.
