The end of E3?

Well, rumors floating around the Internet says that there might not be an E3 next year, or not an E3 we know and love.

It seems that some publishers are having second thoughts on going because of the cost.

One industry insider told MCV: "Costs have been getting out of hand. We're talking double digit millions for some of us. But that's not just floorspace, of course -- it's build, parties, hotels, flights. Security, particularly, has become a massive cost."

Now this could be a big hit to the gaming industry. This is "the event" of the year for gaming, where news, sneak peeks, announcements are done. But this years, a lot of announcements have been done outside of E3. Would the gaming industry already be preparing for the demise of E3?

One question remains... What about the booth babes?!
