Nice joke, but it has been a lifetime dream to go to E3. I'm glad I did in 2005 and 2006. It was awesome. When I went back in 2009, it was lower than the first times. It started to decline after they went "MEDIA only." And then, streaming exacerbated the issue. Microsoft has Mixer, Google has YouTube, Amazon has Twitch, and most information were online.
If you're 16, love video games, it is much, much harder to to be a new person in the industry thanks to the cancel culture everywhere (YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, Facebook, Reddit, etc.). Journalism is dying and these SJW's are exacerbating the issue. Forums are "dying" in general, but there are exceptions to the "rule."
The only way to be truly big in the industry is either eSports, Streaming, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit or another big social media platform that replaces at least one of them.
