The E3 gaming expo is shutting down permanently.

The organizers of the E3 video game convention said on Tuesday that they are shutting down permanently, ending an annual rite for players and creators after it struggled for years to remain relevant in a rapidly evolving industry. The time has come to say goodbye to E3 after more than two decades of it, according to the Entertainment Software Association. The E3 was held in Los Angeles until it was canceled during the Pandemic. It was one of the most high-profile venues where game makers showcased their creations to fans before they went on sale. The convention was scaled back to an invite-only conference in 2007, after attracting so many fans.
