Livestreaming becoming commonplace was a big part of it. Why would a brand go through the expense of setting up a presentation and booth in E3 when they can name the where, when and how, in a much more controlled fashion, for much cheaper, to reach more eyes directly.
The primary purpose of E3 for them was as a marketing space so when a more convenient form of doing it appeared, it was done.
