This E3 2021 will possibly allow us to access paid demos through NVIDIA GeForce Now. The organization does not deny rumors.
Just a few hours ago, it was leaked that the ESA's plans for E3 2021, the most important video game trade show , would include making it entirely digital and offering paid content. Holding E3 2021 completely digital was expected given that the Covid-19 pandemic is still ongoing. What's noteworthy is the inclusion of paid content.
Play E3 builds from home, upon payment
The rumor surfaced a few hours ago via the VGC website . Their report stated that the most noteworthy aspect would be the option to play E3 demos from home via streaming. This would be through a collaboration between the ESA and NVIDIA, which would be promoting its GeForce Now game streaming platform.
Many may think that this is an April's Fools joke, in which comic and fake news is published. But the ResetERA portal, which is very strict with these contents as it is a reference, has not closed the issues in this regard, which indicates that this may have a certain veracity. The organizing body has not denied this either, and has stated that everything that is the event's show will be completely free, without denying that they can charge for access to special demos.
Now, what reason would there be to charge for access to game demos? E3 is an event that usually attracts many people from all over the world to experience first-person games that can take months or years to come out. Investors, influencers and media could save the expenses related to the trip to Los Angeles, and they would not have to wait in lines of several hours to try a game. But everything regarding the E3 2021 fair is yet to be confirmed, such as the exact dates, who will show its contents and if there will be any payment.
