A sad day for all gamers. - Hellfighter 17 - 08-02-2006
They never said they were broke. They said they want to make money, not lose it. Oh noes!

That's the problem HF..in the big picture their hardly losing anything at all and any losses are made up in holiday transactions that more then make up for any loss. Nobdy loses a job and thier wallets get fat. I'm just trying to say it's more then money...and nobody wants to tell the truth.
EDIT: Once again we prove how stupid it is to fight over shit on the internet have your opinion your entitled to it, but their bullshitting.

There probably is more to it, and the reasons are probably reasonable. They don't need to share 'em with the public. People might lose jobs. If they need to cut people, then they probably will. Why risk it when the only thing you are getting is a net loss over the event?
A sad day for all gamers. - Old Dave - 08-02-2006
ok Let's say their net loss is 10 million for E3 let's just say that's what it is. You lose that 10 million and have billions more in your pocket. Holiday season rolls around and you make 10 billion dollars from games and systems sold. Hmm yeah I myself would not be crying to hard.
All I'm saying is don't feed us shit when we know how much you make off of all us crack head gamers. They won't tell us whats really behind it, but I seriously doubt it's money related in any way.
I could be wrong but it's just how I feel, just like how you feel there's nothing to it but what they say.
EDIT: And since were the only one's posting I think we should take it to pm if you wish to continue. No point filling up the thread when we could be conversing other ways.

They can have all the money they want, but if they don't see fortuitous results from E3, there's no point investing into it.

Meh, oh well. E3 never really seemed all that interesting to me anyways. We'll still here about the "great" games through the independent advertising one way or another. It was just a convention for upcoming video games, it's not the end of the world.
I agree with what Trunks said completely though. If they're going to cancel it because of money loss, then they'd better use the money that they're saving to make some good games.

I'm with HF on this, Uub. E3 costed a lot more then you're giving it credit for. It costed enough to put a dent in a very rich business. They can't keep doing that just for a event that in the end, doesn't give them an advantage over the compteition.
It's not just a case of "oh they're super rich so it doesn't really hurt them." Trust me, it does. This is coming from someone who was partially involved in the development of the EA Sports booth next year

I'm just amused there's such thing as a degree in gaming.
Actually Will you need a degree in computer science in order to even get a decent job as a programmer for any major game developer. I myself have that degree and can apply to any programmers job I want. Had I known you could not have figured out what I meant by that I would have gone into detail.
So laugh it up it pays well...

It doesn't pay well.
It pays mediocre for one of the most lucrative positions available from your degree.
Considering the money in the industry the programmers take a fraction of it.
Computer science isn't all that handy a degree either.
I beg to differ, I could live off of the salary I've been offered and thats one of my reasons for finally selling my business, all that matters to me. As for it not being handy I find it to be handy indeed. It's helped me make a decent amount of money on the side in a seperate savings account.
That's just me Will, not speaking for everyone.

Locked. Must everything turn into a never-ending arguement?
