After more than two decades of E3, each one bigger than the last, the time has come to say goodbye.

Thanks for the memories.

When the pandemic effectively suspended E3, Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft started producing direct videos. They haven't been interested in going back.

I'm sure someone will do a full postmortem write-up on E3, but with this sort of thing, there's a sort of inertia involved. Once something happens that pauses a regular gathering and makes everyone wonder "why were we doing this again?" there are times the gathering doesn't come back.
