e3color1 Ever since the format shift from the grand E3s of past years to the now formal, subdued E3, companies have passed on attending the convention altogether, focusing on individual press events. The ESA has released an updated list of exhibitors scheduled to appear at this year’s E3 Media and Business Summit; it includes major publishers such as Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and others, though the lineup is now devoid of Activision and Vivendi, both of which have left the ESA as well as the event.
