If you think E3 was a more welcoming venue for indie studios, you'd be mistaken. Getting a booth or presentation slot at E3 was insanely expensive. If Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft didn't think it was worth their money to have even a booth presence on the show floor, you can probably imagine how prohibitive it was for smaller studios.

People like Xbox would show off more games, from smaller devs, you can do a lot more in 3 days than you can in 3 hours. It was sad when they pulled out, that was the writing on the wall for E3, but its not even comparable to the game awards lmao, which is literally just a 3 hour ad break.
