Re:Is everyone forgetting the purpose of E3? (Score 1)

I don't think I'm missing the point at all. Getting an E3 award can be a big help in selling a game in those brick and mortar stores. And I don't think "everyone" knows that an E3 award is based on impressions of an unfinished game. Some people believe winning an award actually means someone played the finished game. Oh, and ShoWest has awards as well but they are mostly for people and movies who actually got released movies in the past year, with the exception of the Male and Female Star of Tomorrow and even that is based on the winners' past movies.
