I know you folks are starting to compile your own personal lists of who will or won’t be in attendance at E3 this year, right? Well it seems you can definitely count on seeing Zynga there, so go ahead and breathe a sigh of relief. A few others though, willnotbe making an official appearance.
Atari and NCsoft have both confirmed that they will not have a booth this year. NCsoft, withGuild Wars 2launching in the near future, stated that their focus will be on events that let them connect directly with gamers, not the press. That’s a totally justifiable decision seeing as the press is already in love withGuild Wars 2.As for Atari, it’s just not their scene anymore.
Eve Onlinedev CCP Games won’t be attending as an Exhibitor, but withDust 514just over the horizon I’d be baffled if they weren’t a part of Sony’s press conference. Finally Blizzard, who still won’t be attending.Diablo IIIis almost here,World of Warcraftis getting its Mists of Pandaria expansion, they’ve got their own flavor ofDotain the works, and not only are they skipping E3, but Blizzcon is cancelled this year? What is this nonsense?!
At least we’ve got Zynga. I suppose they’re making a strong effort to win us over. Us, the gamers who cry “THOSE AREN’T REAL GAMES!” at the first mention ofFarmville. I hope there’sWords with Friendsswag. ‘Swag,’ by the way, is worth 8 points.
Zynga listed as E3 2012 exhibitor; Atari and others skip event[Neowin]
