Let me just say that I think Activision made a huge mistake for not representing at E3. On that note, any media outlets that are prefixing anything they released this week with the two characters “E” and “3″ should remove all such references.

What I realized was that the video game industry is a microcosm of Hollywood. Everyone involved in the game industry is a celebrity in their own right.
