The most anticipated video game expo of the year, namely the Electronic Entertainment Expo, better known simply as E3, is approaching its 2017 edition. The event will begin on June 13 in Los Angeles and will host the presentations of the most anticipated games of the year.
To understand which titles are generating more expectations among users, Facebook has collected data from the various conversations related to video games. In April alone, 36 million people worldwide have posted, liked, commented or shared content related to some particular games. The numbers recorded are very important and emphasize once again the importance of social even for a varied and complex world like that of video games.
