David Perry says the E3 concept is "broken"
News - Smaller scale seems to be disappointing many
David Perry has added his voice to the growing number of industry heavyweights who've criticised the current format of last weeks E3.
Perry, speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, said the event lacks the "talent, passion and energy this industry has"
"I've got to agree with the comment by John Riccitiello, about E3. If there aren't dramatic changes to the format and staff, I'm never going again," Perry continued.
"The concept is broken, it's expensive, messages are diluted, consumers are ignored (remembering that the future of this industry is direct connections with consumers - not retailers), the ticket policies are stupid, and if the entire industry worldwide doesn't participate, it's not real anyway."
The invite only, smaller scale E3 moved back to the LA Convention Center after taking place across a number of Santa Monica hotels last year.
