can we say it died after a severe case of Covid19?

I think E3 was already kind of an hollowed out husk in the years before, for instance Sony already skipped and did their own thing in 2019: https://gamerant.com/sony-skip-e3-2019-why/

This article also reads like the writing was already on the wall: https://www.indiewire.com/2020/06/e3-uncertain-future-gaming...

Covid at most accelerated its death by a year or two.

All it really did was officially prove nothing bad happened when E3 wasn’t held. Which almost everyone seemed to have already suspected.

It started dying in the early 2010s / late 2000s. Kids stopped buying fat monthly magazines to learn about new games and started consuming all that information online, for free.

died from a lack of feminine energy, since different people got them to neuter it. and look at that, nobody's interested.

should have taken a page out of the promoter and hospitality economy, kept it sexy and ignored people uncomfortable with that. because in hindsight, that was inclusion too.
