https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-03-02-esa-moves-ahead-with-e3-2020-planning-despite-coronavirus-concerns

With the city of Los Angeles having declared a state of emergency today, the ESA has issued a new statement on the situation:
"The health and safety of our attendees, exhibitors, partners, and staff is our top priority. While the ESA continues to plan for a safe and successful E3 show June 9-11, 2020 -- we are monitoring and evaluating the situation daily.

"Our E3 team and partners continue to monitor COVID-19 via the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). We are actively assessing the latest information and will continue to develop measures to further reduce health risks at the show.
"The city of Los Angeles, which has declared a state of emergency, offered the following guidance:
The state of emergency allows the city and county to qualify for additional funding needed to prepare for COVID-19 in the future, if such funds are needed at all.
City officials will continue to prioritize measures and guidelines that are focused on cleanliness and safety.
The city of Los Angeles website is a source for local information.
"Again, please know that we will continue to evaluate new developments and provide updates, as needed."

Is three months enough time?

More importantly, this may be the end of E3 period. If E3 gets canceled then the people who normally attend will realize there's no actual point because it changes nothing other than makes them spend less at the end of the year. No one will bother going next year.

Oh shut the fuck up dude.

We'll see how it goes, but mass public events might be put on hold for a bit.

If companies just start releasing more demos for their games would there even be a point to actually go to these things?

I think that depends on a lot of factors really.

I'm sure Nintendo and Microsoft are happy with Sony not bothering with it. I think they'd hold up the show on their own just for the sake of having all of the conversation even if no one else bothered.

Demos just let you know a game is shit without paying first, they're never coming back.

I doubt they'll ever release the E3 demos to the public since they're usually easily broken or can be datamined. Unless you mean videos.

If it's cancelled they probably will. Microsoft are doing something similar for GDC.

I think Microsoft and Nintendo will have some good stuff.

Basically nobody has announced their next gen stuff yet. All of the companies are pretty quiet about what they're working on for next year and later.

Well, Killer Instinct was alright, even though it only launched with like 6 characters.

This gen was but the 360's first year was pretty great. I guess we'll see. Most games being crossgen should hopefully stop the typical transitional crap. It'll be good to know either way!

Good. More things need to be shut down, period.

This is a serious situation and it's unfortunate how many people are acting like "its no big deal, just another flu that will pass". I don't care what type of flu it is- people should be safe, responsible and act in a decent manner about it.

It's just the flu though guys. Actually, less serious than the flu because the flu kills x amount of people more every year!
