...there are people who only go for the booth babes?
Anyway, from the sounds of it, I doubt the "booth babe" will disappear, it's just that they will be more clothed than in past E3s.

The Booth Babes at EVERY show (except the Touch! DS one) have been ugly as it gets. If this was Carmen Electra, yeah, I'd care. But it's not.

I'm glad. Booth babes really don't represent the videogame industry as mature.

What's more concerning to me, and it doesn't really seem clear from the article, is if this new rule will affect playability of games with "sexually provocative" themes in them. Does the content of the game itself being displayed on a screen count as the "show floor"?

Hell you give the "outfit" away as swag and then just stage this whole thing where the girls at different times get the swag and then "out of their own free will" change their clothes and walk around E3 as attendees. They don't even have to shill. They just get in lines and play different games and rely on male attendees to ask them questions about the logo.
How many really hot girls have the clearance needed to get into E3?

My only game like conference experience is PAX, and they had a no booth babe rule. The result? I don't even remember what the Nintendo booth people looked like, or even if they were girls, all I remember is Zelda.
Also, many of the other booths actually put people in them who knew something. Excuse me for not remembering the name of the company, but one of the CCG companies that was there actually put people very close to the creation of the game out to teach people how to play. You walked in, they had game mats set up with empty seats... Pick a seat, and they would teach you the game. I've never been much of a CCG guy but it was really cool and personal.

If your software company "hires" them then they're in the industry right?

At best they're just eye candy and attention grabbers. It's not like if a girl was dressed like Ada Wong I could realistically get with her. Or Pro 666 with someone dressed like Daisy.
Less eye candy. Oh, well. Boo hoo. I like women, but if I'm flying down to LA for E3, I don't need to spend more time than I already would ogling them.
