Notice how they don't say anything about welcoming the smaller vendors who would get messages like this into the new E3, it's "We would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere and profound gratitude for your past support of this event" is noticably lacking in "and we would like to see you again in the future", and "our vision and goal is to create a more intimate climate for personalized meetings and product demonstrations." is not exactly a concept compatible with a model that would work for the numerous smaller companies that relied wholly on people coming past their booths for attention, not previously set up meetings with specific members of the press...
