It's sad that this needs to be stated. Everyone in here that has trouble understanding this and is going all ''PS5 delayed until 2021 lel'' should take a break for a while and/or stop being such fanboys.
You realize that an international convention has ... international guests, right? It doesn't matter if that convention is in China, Germany, Brazil or the US.
The WHO has also recommended to avoid international conventions if possible btw.
What has MS pulling out got to doHow do you know MS won't pull out? I'm sure they're monitoring the situation.
Pre edit only companies that couldn't get local reps to attend (Chinese) and Facebook for some reason.
Guess it's unreasonable to think sony will reveal before everything leaks i guess...
What has MS pulling out got to dowith our betsanything? They are an American company.
So now we are linking a website which is linking another website which is linking 4chan as the source?What are the thoughts on the rumored specs?

Sony's main company HQ is in Japan of course, but even their american HQ isn't showing up and they are IN the bay area... What????
Facebook also is an American company and they are not showing up as well. Crazy...
Americans not going to American shows in the same city that they are already in... What????

You do understand that large conventions and gatherings are hotspots for passing on and catching diseases right? Whether or not you are are located in a certain city has nothing to do with it.

I don't think it's sad at all. I think what is sad is propagating myths that this virus is a global pandemic and for everyone to stay in their homes and lock their doors.
Propagating fear that is overstated can simply cause more damage. Imagine if everyone did this, the economy could be destroyed because of unfounded fear.
Glad that you know more about this topic than the World Health Organisation, other canceled exibitions like the World Mobile Congress or the involved companies.GDC Already confirmed no reps from China and the US has already imposed checks at entry points. It hasnt even been reclassified yet, it's still a localized outbreak not an epidemic. There has been 1 death outside of Asia. I don't care that they pulled out but to pretend it's a major risk in the states is a bit exaggerated imo. Facebook is just as silly imo but again that is their prerogative.
You do understand that a lot of people can't get into the country with the virus right? right?
What are you even talking about. Nobody is propagating fear. Companies are simply taking precautions for the safety of their employees.
There is also a reason why this virus isn't a global pandemic yet and that's because of the measures that are being taken by the countries that are affected.
It's not that hard to understand man.

Let the employees decide on their own. Don't make that decision for them. They are propagating fear because they are exaggerating things.
Sony's American employees work in the bay area.
GDC is IN THE BAY AREA. It's basically a "short" drive for a lot of them.
People that have the virus are going to be quarantined before they make it here.
You honestly don't see the virus spreading in America like it is in China? WHY IS THIS?
Virusses have incubation periods ranging from a week to two weeks. Some of the Asian companies that are cancelling attendance might very well have sent infected employees without knowing if not for the cancellation.
Again it's not hard to understand dude.
I get Sony's reasoning. I honestly do and I'm fine with it. But surely they'll have to do something? A no-show for the entirety of 2019 (aside from the 2 Wired articles). A no-show at E3, PAX and GDC. No PS5 announcement in sight... A friggin' logo-reveal at CES.
A 1 hour long State of Play. I don't need an event for information. Just... Show the goods, Sony. It's about damn time. Specwise, neither company can do shit right now, outside of maybe pricing. And that's a huge maybe, I bet that's essentially set in stone as well. Show the games!
How I'm feeling inside:
"Sooony! Come out to play-ay!"
Well, should we not even bother going to work? I mean, let's all just stay home and lock our doors. This is just silly now. It's silly.... Now, I know how it must have felt to be living in the 1950's with the scare of nuclear warheads and the commie scare in America.
Are you fucking serious right now? It's because of the measures being taken to prevent this. Just like how Sony and other companies are taken safety measures.
Nobody is propagating fear or shouting that it's end of the world. Countries and companies are just being cautious.

Glad that you know more about this topic than the World Health Organisation, other canceled exibitions like the World Mobile Congress or the involved companies combined.
Sony is so afraid to talk about PS5 they are canceling everything..... That's what a 8TF system does.........LMAO
I literally stated that the WHO says it's a low risk outside of China, the CDC states to use the sams preventative care you would to not catch the flu, and the US has all of 15 cases out of the 1026 outside of China. All this information is from the CDC and WHO but believe what you will stay in your home until it all blows over in a few weeks. hopefully you have that much vacation because god knows I don't.
Last time: it does not matter if an exibition is held in the US, in China, in Brazil or Germany when the attendees come from all over the globe. You can repeat a hundred times that the US has only 15 cases but that has literally nothing to do with the decision. Nobody is canceling trips because they are scared to get infected by some kind of US exclusive virus. It's about the global meeting. Repeating your "only 15 cases in the US!" line does only paint an either arrogant or stupid picture of yourself.I literally stated that the WHO says it's a low risk outside of China, the CDC states to use the sams preventative care you would to not catch the flu, and the US has all of 15 cases out of the 1026 outside of China.

Someone should make a general "cancelled\not attending events for virus safety reasons" thread.
We're going to end up with shit loads of individual threads and bleed into other threads.
No? Mark Cerny is incapable of going further than 10TF..... A tub can handle so much water.....Well, if they cancel the PS5 now, they might have enough time to build a new chip with 14 TF in 2021 or 2022, what say you? ;-p
Well, should we not even bother going to work? I mean, let's all just stay home and lock our doors.
This is just silly now. It's silly....
Now, I know how it must have felt to be living in the 1950's with the scare of nuclear warheads and the commie scare in America.
So, why should we fear and be so concerned? Why should we just cancel everything and live underground in Montana?
Console warzI still don't get the drama, the rest of the company is carrying on as normal, it's a few events that don't really matter.
I'm glad to know that I don't even have to bother reading certain people's posts in here. They can't even limit their stupidity to the threads about the coronavirus, of which there are several. Added on top of that are the dumbasses using this to push conspiracy theories about a console launch. I swear, and I say this as someone without a life, get a life.
You should not bother to post until you learn a degree of tact and understanding.

People panic to easily these days I understand being precautious but this is a bit overblown like idk what to say. Wash your bands, sneeze into your shirt rather than the open, use sanitizer, etc or is the CDC lying and none of that will save us? A convention that excludes attendees from the epicenter country, that is in a location with checks at border entry for possible signs, coupled with standard hygiene and the risk is tiny.Well, hey actually that's a good thing. Everyone can stay in their homes and all the freeways will be free to everyone else that's not scared. :)
Nice freeways that are actually free from traffic. How about that Los Angeles?
