E3, the annual videogame conference, has been canceled—not because it tweeted something it shouldn't have, but in the literal sense. It's among the many conventions forced to shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. You can still watch all of the virtual presentations from game developers and console makers from the comfort of your laptop at home.
