E3 2017: 18 Biggest WTF Moments

11. All The Short Conferences

What was up with the conferences being so damn short this year? Sure, E3 as a whole has felt somewhat bloated and excessive over the last few years, what with Ubisoft's brutal two-hour show last year, but it's odd that the conferences were trimmed down so consistently across the board.

Sony's conference, for instance, easily could've run 90+ minutes, but instead it clocked in at barely an hour, while Bethesda's ran a mere 40 minutes, and Nintendo's Spotlight livestream only just met the length of your average TV sitcom episode.

Perhaps this speaks to E3's increasing irrelevance in a world of YouTube "influencers", but it was still a shame that so little effort was put into the stage shows by basically all the big-hitters.
