Bethesda Softworks - Attending E3

After the ESA apparently sent out an E3 list that excluded Bethsoft, the Bethblog has word they will be there, along with Fallout 3:

Yes, Bethesda Softworks will be at this year’s E3 in LA.
Yes, we will have Fallout 3 there.
No, I don’t know why the ESA sent out a list that did not include us, just like they did last year. Maybe it’s because the had to go to print at a certain point and we hadn’t picked our space yet. No idea.
But we’ll be there and so will Fallout 3.

More information.

What's way more interesting than the "Bethesda is coming" (which we already knew), is the fact that Activision-Vivendi isn't.

It's interesting from a business perspective but not from a game perspective for me.

Well, if Blizzard was to announce Diablo 3 anywhere, E3 might have made sense, though that's not really Blizzard's style anyway.

Blizzard has it's own E3.

NCSoft is skipping E3 too. I wonder how many other major publishers will do this.
