However, the tradition as-is was getting a little… well… predictable… so I figured I’d do something more in-depth, going over my hopes and proposed strategies for the following companies’ press conferences at E3 '18: Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Bethesda, Ubisoft, and EA. How? By associating a specific word to each of them, and wandering from there.
