After E3's Cancellation, The ESA Drops Plans For A Digital Replacement Event

When the ESA canceled E3 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, it issued a statement saying it was "exploring options with our members to coordinate an online experience to showcase industry announcements and news in June 2020." The organization has now announced it won't be doing that, instead focusing on promoting individual companies' events.

"Given the disruption brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not be presenting an online E3 2020 event in June.
