> Trade shows, E3 in particular, was where studios gave you a taste, a preview, an announcement, got you excited All of this has moved to The Game Awards now, probably because companies don't necessarily need to actually pay to attend. PAX is also still a thing. > But maybe that's just me getting old. Probably - all of the eyeballs are on twitter/youtube/facebook now and they can pay to shove themselves into your feed. Companies get more bank for their buck spending their millions of advertising budget on those platforms rather than spending that money on a day or two at a tradeshow.
