EA forsakes E3 Expo 2016 to host a public event for real gamers

Today, EA has announced that they will not have an exhibit at E3 Expo 2016.

E3 Expo is an annual trade show for video games and related products. It is an industry only event which makes it impossible for the regular gamer to attend.

EA usually has a huge exhibit space at the LA Convention Center for E3 but this year will be different. EA has left the building and will now host a 3 day event outside the LA convention center at Club Nokia.  The event, slated for June 12-14 2016 is aimed at giving the true gamers access to hands on game demos, live events, competition, and more.

EA will also livestream some of the events and hold a press conference live and online at June 12, 2016 at 1 pm PST.
