Those aren’t small children, though. They’re pretty clearly preteens or teenagers. E3 is a professional event; you’re supposed to be there as part of your job, even if people use a bit of the time for fun and networking.

In all fairness, that’s what GDC is for. E3 should primarily be press/industry (as in, the people who are in a position to “sell” the game)/retail. All these events have kind of congealed into a viscous, game-y soup, though.

Yeah, but the auto shows are explicitly family friendly events. Unless they changed the rules recently, E3 has ALWAYS been 18+. As a matter of course, even if you somehow managed to get passes. Honestly, that video is as jarring as seeing a bunch of kids at a night club.
