Considering the state of E3 last year, and it being just web broadcast this year, why would ANY studio waste their time with it? They are better off marketing their own products. I am really curious to see what the actual participation numbers of this years E3 are going to be. Honestly, I think it is going to tank. Part of its draw was the "convention" setting, that is why developers paid so much to be a part of it. For the energy that drove word of mouth. I mean do you remember the old days when it was huge and stations like techTV had Olivia Munn broadcasting it? Now, at least for the last 2-3 years it has been just meh.
Realistically, it's going to see bigger numbers this year because people really didn't like the slow drip nature of the announcements spread out across all of last Summer.
Not to mention there's a lot of stuff that has leaked out since that people are excited to see, like Dragon's Dogma 2, our first actual look at FFXVI, and a rumored unannounced higher budget FF spinoff game based on FFI. There's a lot more going on than just cRPGs.
