it’s like when your uncle who’s been on life support for 15 years is finally unplugged

Which is hilarious because they’ve been shitposting about Nintendo’s E3 directs for the last couple of years
Just further proof that Sony never has an original idea

Basically the government pays people to form a concern around various interests and an influencer is an agent of such.

Dystopian marketing term for social media stars/ecelebs

E3 is not needed anymore.

Artificial hype.

Paid third party shill

Influencers are internet celebrities on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram etc. that companies use to push products through them because it gives them a easy route to advertise to children, which is much harder to do through other means (like TV). For an example, see Logan and Jake Paul.

>Don't even watch livestreams
>Simply visiting this board after the conferences I can see which games are worth looking into if there's a thread for it

beings that sold their souls to satan and are now forced to spread propaganda everywhere they go.

squilliam collages and comfytheatre streams are probably the one period of happiness i have per year. i hope this isn't being taken away from me.

>In a pitch deck intended for the lobbying group’s members (last updated August 16, 2019), the ESA says it has plans to adapt its offerings in response to feedback gathered from publishers

>The E3 schedule may be reconfigured with an industry-only day on Tuesday (traditionally the first day of E3 activities at the LA Convention Center), before opening the doors wide to ticketed members of the general public on Wednesday and Thursday

>The ESA membership is not aligned with the lobbying group that E3 should be a consumer event. The lobbying group’s publisher partners shot down an idea for a PlayStation Experience-like movie theatre experience. However, there are a number of consumer-focused plans on the table. A proposed digital app and experience may help mitigate wait times

>Another aspect of the deck proposes leveraging social consciousness to promote E3. In a series of slides called “The Power of Social Good,” The ESA suggests exploiting Millennial and Generation Z propensity for giving back

Fuck millenials and fuck zoomers and fuck corporations.

This is fucking disgusting. Fuck California. Nuke it.

I'll watch the Nintendo Direct, but that's it. There is no e3

So nothing’s actually changing?
Geez OP, you got me worried over nothing.

Oof

So wait, no more games?

the corporation decided to elect your leader. consume what your assigned influencer told you to like. Obey. pay.

more MEDIA means Sony is safe with their interactive movies. Three will probably be a funko conference as well, since they kinda already do that at comicons these days.

human billboards

A youtuber, Instagram model, streamer, etc. Its literally just a polite way of saying "shill"

>the virgin e3
>the chad gamescom

Last good entertaining E3 was nearly a decade ago. Who gives a fuck.

when your celebrity makes your fan consume all you show online to feel like you to the point the celebrity itself is defined by what you consume. No artistic merits or political influence required, you are important because you consume the right things for your fans.

>>Another aspect of the deck proposes leveraging social consciousness to promote E3.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

gamescon is already the prototype of that new E3 formula. ecelebs at every corner, and stage events that are just there to thank the sponsors (the awards were baffling this year)

Fucking hell. This corporate speak is so fucking de-humanizing, and you just know things are just going to get worse with this focus group bullshit.

Influence style marketing started before that. Around your dads age, kid.

an influencer doesn't shill, it's not controlled viral marketing or astro turfing. It's at face value.

An influencer makes you feel sick and you have to stay in bed all day and take your meds. Not a nice thing to have.

This is a video game board

What the fuck does this even mean?
"Use influencers to promote E3 and make it Look Good(tm)" is what I'm getting.
Am I wrong?

This is what happens when you systematically demonize actual journalists for a decade.
Publishers have learned to circumvent things like "integrity" and "ethics" by using paid shills with none of either. They don't even have the safety net of a steady paycheck; they live hand to mouth from the scraps that publishers feed them.

How's it feel to get what you wanted, Kotakuinaction faggots?

FMIF?

what the fuck did you just say to me

same here

>actual journalists

obviously the only thing to do here is to remind all those sociopathic game producer big wigs that games are meant to be about fun

i dont buy games that use those kinds of things so it doesn't really matter to me

Smaller games are more likely to use this avenue for marketing, since they can't afford traditional advertisements.
Bannerlord's going to have paid streamers, Kerbal 2 is going to have YouTubers reacting™, greedfall has shill on this very website. It's inescapable.

When I said that this E3 was the worst of the decade, I didn’t ask for this.
