I knew it had been cancelled, but don't know why. Why was it?

Companies complaining about the cost of exhibiting. All the fuss over the booth babes. Maybe even problems hiring the venue according to one report I read. Whatever, there will be an "entertainment expo" next year, just a lot smaller in scale.

Plus, E3 has been disappointing for years until this one.

I expect the answer to be a "no", but wondered if anyone else is going to the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany later this month?
