This isn't the 80's anymore, people in sandals and shorts now make the big decissions too. Dress code should have nothing to do with it, you’re reporting on games, not meeting some important client.

The sandals and shorts seen a lot this year were lifesaving. I began with professional attire but after having to walk 2 miles in the California sun that was overruled the second day. Its not gamers at the event.. so why would they groan? Its a business and media summit. Were the whole thing to go back to one location that was connected by Air Conditioning and hallways I'd happily go back to the Business Casual attire I usually adopt for the event. I'm not sure I see his point on that one. Professionalism like that is an outward indicator. Its' not indicative of the professionalism of the folks attending or conducting business. This isn't an accounting software convention. E3 is not a vacation, you're right. It is work.. lots of long hours for three straight days. Changing our clothes doesn't make that less stressful or grueling and frankly it doesn't impact the worlds outside view of the event because they generally don't care. I didn't hear one person comment on the dress of attendees from a business or media perspective. We all slog through the events and kinda wave as we pass. As for his "Best of Show" comments - some games rate it two years in a row - if its unpublished at showtime why not have it be a candidate... and as far as I recall there is no official "Best of Show" awarded by the ESA or E3.. that is all media hype trying to score headlines and give opinions on the most impressive content they saw during the event. The failure or success of E3 does not hinge on these issues.. it hinges on getting the information to the media and conducting business in a suitable environment.

Professionalism like that is an outward indicator. Its’ not indicative of the professionalism of the folks attending or conducting business. This isn’t an accounting software convention.
