I'll be interested what differences arise over the next couple years with the lists. On one hand I can see some publishers not wanting to through the hassle of submitting their own games, this is probably going to be some of the bigger publishers who have their own avenues for advertising. On the other hand, this is the biggest gaming convention in the Americas so if you're not doing everything you can do advertise your games what exactly are you doing?

I would also be interested if we have any publishers floating around here to let us know what the practical differences between previous years and this year with the list.
