ESA Surveying Attendees for E3 Feedback
ESA Surveying Attendees for E3 Feedback
July 29, 2008
In the wake of this month's poorly-regarded E3, the ESA is using e-mail to survey attendees concerning the show.
While the 20-question survey is a rather brief and not especially probing, it's good to see the ESA, which has operated the show since it began in the mid-90's, beginning to do damage control.
On the other hand, most, if not all, of E3 08's problems have already been well-documented by the gaming press.

JDKJ: Keep it real, Saber. You know your Christmas Day wouldn't be complete if you didn't have a listen to the Queen's Speech.

Andrew Eisen: "Curiosity killed the cat." Makes you wonder just what that cat was doing when that phrase was coined.

Valdearg: I never understood humanity's insistence on adhering to tradition. But hey, as long as there's no harm done, I don't really care, Lol.. Like you guys are saying, sometimes it's downright entertaining.

DarkSaber: I know, makes you wonder how a practical joke becomes a centuries old tradition. I doubt when it first happened people looked at each other said "We should do this EVERY year!"

JDKJ: That thing where the Commons slam the door in Black Rob's face and make him bang on it before they'll open up always makes me laugh. Who comes up with this shit?

Valdearg: @DS: Nice... That's better than in America, where 40% of Americans still think he was a tool of Satan.. Ugh..

Erik: Opening and closing Parliment? Ooooh, what power the monarch wields! That couldn't be done by an ape with a gavel tied to it's paw!

DarkSaber: Except now the queen has no power to give and it becomes one of the quaint little traditions a country does just because it has always done them. Like making judges wear silly clothes, or football hooliganism.

JDKJ: @DS: It is a ceremony but nevertheless one with an underpinning rooted in the Monarch giving her power to Parliament so that it may conduct the affairs of state of his/her behalf.

DarkSaber: It's called a symbolic ceremony Austin. I wouldn't expect someone from a country barely 300 years old to understand. Frankly, if the queen forgot to turn up the country would still carry on. It's not like she has the power to choose NOT to open it and rei

chadachada321: Oh, don't get me wrong Valdearg, I despise the UK for most of their other policies, but they at least respect science more than.

If the ESA wants a better E3 they need to pull a Comic Con styled event, catering not only the industry, the news media, but also the fanbase.
"Dear Dennis, I know you didn't like our show, and we said some really mean things about you, but please answer for the following questions.."
"bear in mind, any answers you give, can and will be used against you the next time we feel like smearing your name"
"P.S. Be as detailed as possible and say things we can misqoute"
I think the ESA pretty much knows they had it right the first time and any post E306 changes were all contributing factors to E3's downfall, they just dont want to admit it because they want to save money.
If money is an issue why not just open up to the public, and charge an admission fee?
Well they know it was terrible so if they are gonna keep this horrible thing alive without doing anything than they need to make it look like they are adressing the problems...
