E3 exhibitor list released; Texas Governor to give keynote

Although a few major players will be absent, E3 is still on! Over 30 studios will be there to exhibit their games, even Electronic Arts and Take-Two Interactive who are currently at loggerheads. Check out the full list of exhibitors in the full article.

Activision’s departure from this year’s E3 may have rocked the boat, but the convention is still on! Over 35 exhibitors have already confirmed their attendance, with more on the way.

Michael Gallagher, CEO of the ESA whose term has come under fire under the pressure of Activision’s departure, has this to say about the event:

Clearly companies and attendees value what the E3 Summit offers that nobody else can—a professional and efficient experience conducive to getting the business of the video game industry done.

This continued support validates the Summit and is a testament to both the high level of interest and the important role it plays in our industry.
