To those who have committed to E3 2023, we apologize for not being able to showcase what you deserve and what you expect from the ReedPop event experience.”
The information was first leaked via email sent by ESA to its members and collected by IGN. The announcement said E3 “simply failed to garner the long-term interest needed to do it in a way that demonstrates the size, strength, and impact of our industry”.
