The fair organization admits that it has listened to suggestions and complaints and is working to improve the event.
Los Angeles E3 loses Sony for the second consecutive year, which will not attend the fair and will focus on its own events to present its new-generation machine, PlayStation 5. Faced with this situation, which has been combined with other problems – such as For example, the data of many journalists and industry professionals were leaked— the ESA (Electronic Entertainment Association), organizer of the fair, has issued a statement in which they say things will change in the face of E3 2020.
"We have heard the feedback of our partners from the media, attendees and the industry in general," the statement begins. "We are committed to keeping the E3 at the same level you expect." According to ESA, they have not turned a deaf ear and have not stayed inside the bubble. “For E3 2020, we are collaborating with industry insiders and new creative partners,” which will, according to the organization, “revitalize the show” and change things.

Promises for the future
"We are on the path of developing and producing an extensive and fun experience that celebrates the culture of games from exciting points of view."

New security systems

"This means updating our administrative processes," which includes changing the way personal information is handled. “We will not store more data on our website. They have also changed the registry, so they will request “the minimum information necessary” to complete it.
The E3 2020 will be held in the city of Los Angeles (United States) from June 9 to 11. At the moment, Sony has not announced when it will present PlayStation 5. What is known is that Microsoft will offer its usual conference, in which Xbox Series X will be one of the main protagonists.
