    Buck up, gamers - the bastion of E3 may be lost to the annals of time, but media giant International Data Group is stepping in to pick up the slack. They've jumped through the hoops and signed the papers, and it's official -- E3 will be reborn as the GamePro Expo, presumably named for GamePro magazine, which IDG publishes.The best news of all? The GamePro Expo will showcase all aspects of the industry. It's not all about the business anymore; the post-E3 expo will feature live competitions as well as all the tradeshow goodness we've come to love over the years. Of course, we're keeping fingers crossed behind our backs, as it's awfully early to pin our hopes on an amorphous future show. But if all goes as planned, we'll see you in L.A. next October.[Via Joystiq]
