Ever since E3 2020 was cancelled, a number of major websites providing video game coverage have announced plans to pick up the slack and provide a digital platform for developers to announce their new games and reveal more information. It's great to see that these announcements won't go to waste, but the whole situation is already feeling a little too exhausting. That's because GameSpot has now revealed that it will also be debuting a digital event this June alongside the likes of IGN and GamesRadar.
Over on the site, GameSpot describes its Play For All event as a "multi-week event that will deliver the biggest summer gaming news, previews, interviews, and more to a global audience." The team will also raise funds to help combat the coronavirus pandemic. Gamespot has shared a list of the partners the online event will include, those being Bethesda, CD Projekt Red, Deep Silver, Devolver Digital, Larian Studios, Google Stadia, Bandai Namco, Private Division, Square Enix, SEGA, and 2K Games.
It's a very healthy list, but we're already beginning to spot problems. Is this list of publishers not incredibly similar to IGN's Summer of Gaming event? Yes, it is. It is becoming clear that sites will be fighting for exclusive coverage over one another, potentially muddying the waters.
Maybe we're being too pessimistic, but we can't say we're thrilled by these sorts of announcements at the moment. How do you react? Let us know in the comments below.

Oh god, and we thought covering E3 was bad!
@ShogunRok at least they are Just some Digital Streams opposite to E3 in general...
Developer digital.can we have shadow warriors 3.shadow warriors 2 is one of my favorite games ever.still playing this classic shooter.word up son
@ShogunRok Pushsquare should run the Pushsquare allnighter pre unlock. At midnight just run a ton of trailers and have a few of you mulling over them for an hour or two. Have the live chat running alongside for us commoners. It would be good.
Well, at least it's focused on just the games and won't be bogged down by online influencers and celebrities.
I’m hoping for Sonic Future with new characters.
Why the negativity? Covering a few streams won't be more exhausting than Los Angeles, queues and the overall noise of E3. This could be a good change.
