"Eventually the lack of revenue, be it from E3 or membership dues, translates to cutting back on the services that the ESA provides to the industry: lobbying, IP protection and free speech issues."
Would this lead to the eventual collapse of the ESA?
If it does happen, how will it effect the videogame industry? Would it have another crash? Would bills get passed into law and stay?

Laws won't get passed. There will still be the EMA representing the retailers and the ECA representing the consumers. Most game bills effect these two organizations more than they did the ESA anyway.
THe only major problem would be that the publishers won't have a collective voice anymore.

The death of E3 is as much as symptom of the development of the video game industry. E3 had become each company trying to outdo each other specifically in response to each company trying to outdo each other.
How often would the old E3 have reports of "select people were allowed to go to Soandso's off site party to see suchandsuch". E3 had become a pile of solutions to the problems E3 created.
Any publisher can get as much hype as they otherwise could with the internet now. There's no reason to tease a title with a rough alpha that might turn people off just because it's The Big Show. Three weeks later you can polish it and then take advantage of a news drought.

I'm all for freedom of ttnet vitamin speech and allowing rent a car game makers to put whatever they want in games, but there's one thing about this app that has me scratching my head.

If this is the case, has travesti anyone considered what's stopping someone from using this app to actually move drugs between hands for reals?
But majority araba kiralama of their outrage araç kiralama stems from what it could DO TO children, not the content itself. Talk to one of these people and you'll find they don't think any books kiralık araba should be banned from children.

Here I am, 32 years old, and being held up at a self-scan rent a car needing to show ID before I can buy a $10 M rated game all because Soccer Momthra can't be bothered to look at the crap Billy Genericallystupidson does in his free time. It's too hard for her, so I have to suffer?

At the very least, it's not the ONLY show in town. =)
Regardless, E3's fall from grace is such a pity.
"Eventually the lack of revenue, be it from E3 or membership dues, translates to cutting back on the services that the ESA provides to the industry: lobbying, IP protection and free speech issues."

What would happen?

The major publishers could also attempt to fight legislation on their own.
I've been saying that since.. last... year. =/
IF they don't bring back E3, the ESA is doomed.
They've been losing their publishers, so they should attempt to convince the publishers to hold the OLD E3.
