This year’s exhibitor list for E3 has been revealed by the Electronic Software Association. The list includes all the big names like Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, THQ and others, but notable absences include Activision, Vivendi and id Software. The former two left the ESA altogether and id will not be present at the show.
Additionally, the ESA announced that Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, will give a keynote address at the event.
“The Governor’s keynote address is especially timely given the high concentration of entertainment software developers and publishers in Texas as well as the state’s long-standing support of our industry,” noted ESA CEO Michael D. Gallagher. “The Governor’s forward-thinking leadership in encouraging the growth and development of our USD 18 billion industry is a road map for other state executives who want to transform their state economies for the 21st century.”
Hit the jump for the full list of exhibitors.

Following the flop that was E3 2007, ESA has announced that it is moving the annual summit to the Los Angeles Convention Center when it runs from July 15-17, 2008. The event will still be invite-only and open to the exclusive few.
“The Summit is first and foremost about getting business done,” the ESA told Gamasutra. “The intent of this show is to be a business-to-business opportunity and it isn?t centered or focused on general consumers.”
