Indeed. They decided that apparently popularity and massive attendance figures aren’t something that they wanted, and they wonder why games studios don’t want to go there. You don’t get your name out there by hiding behind closed doors. Not all members of the press get invites either mind you, some aren’t seen as serious or big enough to be worth inviting or noticing. So instead of an overblown even, they went and killed the whole thing. To be honest, we don’t really need the ESA to provide a combined conference anyway, it was a paradise under one roof, but having more specialised events hosted by one company, or three or four working together makes sure that the show is properly ordered and centralised, E3 in it’s last days was a messy affair, the right approach just too much all going on at once.

Take a look at the ESA member list Kalos, Activision and Vivendi have been removed and Blizzard is not listed as neither are any subsidaries of either studio as they were done through parent company, so no, blizzard is no longer a member.

I hope this members list isn’t the one from Wikipedia, as that was already incorrect in multiple ways, could you illuminate this source? I have doubts that such a happening would be overlooked by most of the news quater, but if it is a good source then changes may need to be made.
