I asked a question about what's going on and you took that as an oppurtunity to talk down to someone. Pathetic.
It's an easy fix though, lock out China until the disease dies out and then problem solved. You just completely isolate them for 6 months and the problem will eventually go away...and maybe just maybe they'll learn their lesson about eating bats and dogs 🙄
This is now an international crisis not a Chinese crisis. Locking out one country is a very phobic response to a worldwide issue that's developing and one that wouldn't be solved by your solution.
There are issues in Italy, Europe, Korea. What about those places?
Everyone should have locked out China sooner it's pretty much that simple. I'm sorry but Pax East and GDC shouldn't be affected by this. A few cases in Europe and Korea wouldn't have any affect on this, especially PAX which is mostly US based companies.
It likely wouldn't have changed the outcome with experts saying we've likely missed 2/3 of cases leaving China and it having such a long incubation period.
I'm sorry your video games are affected over peoples lives. That's no reason to resort to xenophobia given that the disease can be transmitted in any country. Just because Chinese airports are shut down doesn't means people can't get out by other means.

Not xenophobia, if your country develops a huge disease like this and could unleash it on the world you should be shut off until it dies out. I don't care if it's China, US, UK, Morocco, whatever you should deal with it and not put the rest of the world in danger. The fact that it spread so fast was because of Chinese pride and that their the only ones that matter so they don't give an f they're flying around the world for Chinese New Year.

“Apparently we will be expecting more game delays because of the Coronavirus. Couple of games already delayed we just don’t know about it. A lot of developers outsource work to China hence future delays. Also be surprised if we see either the PS5 or Xbox Series X this year”
I doubt they'll do another SoP for TLoU2 demo (which is probably the same demo the press already played and showed) and no games or PS5 stuff were getting announced by them at GDC, it's not really that type of event.

What are you talking about? You realise China is huge right? It has the same area as the USA with multiple districts and diversity. To you it's all or nothing; Us vs ALL of them? Why wouldn't someone from outside Wuhan be allowed to travel during CNY? Especially with the amount of info people had at that point. And btw even the Chinese government at that point had already imposed travel restrictions.
Depending. This year might well be known as the remote part.
If E3 gets cancelled don't expect new console this year.
I would be fine with that. They're just video games and they can come out next year.
They are already 7 years old, that's a long time for game consoles, especially those with Jaguar CPU's.
Not like it changes much. You'd probably be able to count the number of PS5 and XSX exclusives on 1 hand for the 1st year if they release this year. It at worst means they'll probably have a better launch lineup if delayed. While not putting thousands at risk.
