The latest victim of the coronavirus appears to be the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). Both Bloomberg and Ars Technica are reporting that the ESA (Entertainment Software Association) has cancelled the event.
Other notable cancellations include SXSW, Google I/O, GDC and F8.
E3 began as an industry-only tradeshow but transitioned into a public event in recent years. The cancellation is especially significant given the upcoming launches of both the XBox Series X and the Playstation 5.
