Once upon a time there was a magical games conference known as E3. Then, during a dark and fateful year, a dangerous disease spread its tendrils around the world, and E3 was canceled. Everyone assumed that it would return soon enough, but something was wrong with the Grinch who owned E3:
It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all,
May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
The Grinch continued to cancel this gamer's holiday for years. This caused the Whos in Whoville, and all players everywhere, to realize that E3 was kind of like Christmas. It was about games and gamers and the gamers who make games, and now all the Whos in Whoville knew that it was more than just a series of poorly executed press conferences. It was about coming together. And no matter the pandemic or the Grinch, no matter anything, E3 was going to happen every year.
So as we sit down to our yearly E-feast, and we dine and we eat our who-pudding and roast beast, let us celebrate both the big and the small. Let us celebrate that there are games for us all.
