New York Toy Fair 2021 Cancelled, Future Plans Revealed

So essentially there will be the private/closed doors stuff in February, and we can maybe expect something to come out from different companies during that time, if anything at all?

But mostly I expect very little news in that time

This has become mostly a press show, actual industry buyers make their decisions months before the event. So no big deal.

In other words, another small joy is taken away from the little people while life goes on as usual for the fat cats...

I remember things like E3 how fantastic that was...but it has become an industry event if it still exists, where there are a lot of secrets meant to show investors.

E3 used to be something you show off to the fans and your fellow game makers.

A lot of things are just losing their luster.

Shame, but I cannot blame the industry this time. The elected officials are making insane rules based on a less 1% risk. Trying to keep this post from being deleted, but you get what I mean.

You are not wrong. Hell even comic cons are just worthless anymore. Personally i wont miss them or the corporate fuckery that theyve become.

Sounds like it's time for PulseCon, MezcoCon, and McFarlaneCon Online round two.
Since February's always a cold and shitty month, I could use some good reveals to keep warm.

What are you talking about lol. E3 has always been a game industry trade show with general admission becoming a thing within the last couple of years.
