"After more than two decades of serving as a central showcase for the US and global video game industry, ESA has decided to end E3," said Stanley Pierre-Louis, President and CEO of the Entertainment Software Association.

娛樂軟體協會總裁兼執行長史丹利‧皮耶—路易說，「做為美國和全球電玩產業的一個重要展示場合20多年後，娛樂軟體協會已決定停辦電子娛樂展。」

"ESA’s focus and priority remain advocating for ESA member companies and the industry workforce who fuel positive cultural and economic impact every day," he added.

「娛樂軟體協會的焦點和優先事項，依舊是為ESA會員企業和每天都在促進正面娛樂與經濟影響力的這個產業工作者發聲」，他接著說。

The Washington-based ESA had sponsored the big gathering annually since 1995. At its height, the show was a major launchpad for new releases from the biggest video gaming players. (AFP)
