Microsoft's Xbox business head Phil Spencer announced that the company is planning to take the Xbox E3 Event online with a Digital Event. The 2020 edition of the Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3), the world's largest video gaming industry trade show, was cancelled for the first time since its 1995 debut, in the wake of the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Microsoft Xbox is one of its latest participants with an E3 event almost every year. The 2020 edition of E3 was particularly important for Microsoft, as the company was expected to shed more light on its next-generation game console platform (or platforms, according to some rumors). Particularly since Sony had already announced absence from the show, it would be a Microsoft-focused event. "E3 has always been an important moment for Team Xbox. Given this decision, this year we'll celebrate the next generation of gaming with the @Xbox community and all who love to play via an Xbox digital event," tweeted Spencer. He added that details on the timing of the Digital Event will be put out in the coming weeks.

Indeed.

E3 is not the E3 it was 10 years ago...

^ Ahhh yes, back when it was exciting. As a gamer since the age of 2 -- but for the sake of simplicity, let's just say since I was old enough to actually remember lol -- I miss the days where you actually had to PLAY the game in order to unlock stuff. Games actually had replay value. Now though, why play and enjoy that game (unlocking things yourself) you spent $60 bucks on, when you can pony up an extra chunk of cash and BUY all the unlockables? Sadly, in many games today, you don't have to have any skill, just a credit/debit card.

And if that weren't enough, don't even get me started on all the DLC That Should Have Been Standard Anyway crap...

During The DAY, there was not much internet... we bought magazines seeing reviews and gameplay tips. The golden PS2 era was the peak... then it kinda started to fade away, with few exceptions.

I remember having problems with Silent Hill, end up stuck for example. But hey... that was 20 years ago... There was a walkthrough book even.

^ Back then, I loved getting a new issue of Nintendo Power (RIP) and getting hyped over upcoming games. I also had quite a few strategy guides myself. To this day, I still can't play certain older titles without one (I'm looking at you, Metroid Prime 2/3, haha)

Same here. I subscribed from the first issue to the last. Good times. Diehard Gamefan was pure quality too!
