Snif já lá vão 10 anos... bem me lembro de acompanhar a CES e a E3 nas revistas já desde há muitos anos!
Um artigo muito interessante!
Before there was the Electronic Entertainment Expo, there was a show called the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
CES was held twice per year. There was the winter show, which was held in Las Vegas, and the summer show, which was generally held in Chicago but sometimes traveled. CES was a great show as far as size was concerned, but the people who ran it had no idea about what do about video games. CES was not just about video games. CES was the show you attended to see the latest innovations in car alarms, refrigerators, stereos, and telephones. During the summer shows, the bottom floor of the convention center was reserved for pornography. Some of the biggest game companies had their displays one floor up.
In 1995, the video and computer game industry sort of divorced itself from CES, partially because it was treated like the ugly cousin of the electronics industry. During the winter show, video games were relegated to a big tent off the main show floor. It was Las Vegas. It was January. If you wanted to look at video games, you had to trudge through wind and rain to get out to their area.
One of the results of the Senate investigation into video-game violence was the creation of the Interactive Digital Software Association (IDSA, now known as the ESA). With the creation of its own trade organization, video and computer games no longer relied on generic association for representation. Game makers used to consider the Software Publishers Association its trade organization. They once attended the Consumer Electronics Show as their tradeshow. That ended.
