Playstation has decided to postpone the June 4th PS5 Event [was same day as George Floyd memorial service]
- Thread starter IDontBeatGames
- Start date
I can't deny that my first reaction was "FUCK". But of course there are way more important events happening that need everyone's full attention.
Massive respect to Sony for doing this.

I think having a strong message at the start, making a stance is more important, and in fact, I still hope they will do it.
But I can also understand they prefered that top tweet are about BLM than any new game annoucement / trailer.
For people thinking next week. I am not there, but it does not look like something that will be sorted out in a week.

Ironically this will bring them many more viewers I bet, this is a huge second wind of eyes on it, and there will be a third when they announce the new date. This thing will have a MASSIVE number of viewers.
Disappointing to hear but perfectly understandable as why this is the case. I don't think the delay will be too long, maybe they'll push it for the weekend? They have likely edited everything they need for the showing and they can't hold it back for too long before leaks start to become more common, so maybe it'll air next week if not this weekend.
of course, it is. how can someone take my comment and turn into im upset about the delay of ps5
but again not surprised. some people here are after my neck lol
I think this is ultimately a meaningless gesture that allows a corporation to avoid having their ad campaign tackle the real issues happening right now.
Sony will wait until the heat dies down and corporations can pretend race issues are "fixed" in America. So a week or so from now.

Kudos to them for making the right decision. While I am as excited as the next person I do think that what they have coming up for people to see will be worth the wait and everybody should continue to be excited but realize that this is bigger than games and they made the right decision.
That was from a colteastwood parody account "culteastwood" trying to damage his reputation. But many of the console warriors I cannot excuse.
No but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be delayed now, it's not a competition. This is an important time for the US it's a good thing that they're respectful of that.
Whatever they were going to show isn't going to stop existing because of a delay.
As always there's a reason Gamergate took hold where similar things in other media types were quashed immediately.
Did not know this. Completely understandable that Sony would move it to another date instead of going through with it and looking like hypocrites after the tweets they put out.
I dont think they will show anything until
July at the earliest tbh, i wouldnt expect a short delay

Meanwhile at Quantic Dream:

Quantic Dream co-CEO de Fondaumière tweets "All lives matter" and promotes their game (deleted it, added BLM, but still promotes game)
Tweet is deleted now, but gotta shine a light on this bullshit. updated version is still bad:

As a non-American I'm disappointed.
The people who support the cause probably wouldn't have let a gaming conference sidetrack them to begin with. Those who don't care will probably turn more negative if anything.
It's an interesting precedent to set at the very least.
EDIT: If it's to do with the memorial then that makes more sense to me then a general "not right now" delay

Absolutely the right move. Good on Sony.
Anyone questioning why they did this or saying they shouldn't have or that racism and police brutality are only an America problem deserve serious side eye and suspicion. Video games aren't even a drop in the fucking bucket compared to what the Black community is going through right now (well, "always" is more like it, but especially right now).

Nobody is "after your neck", which is a pretty poor choice of words to use as a follow up to your original choice of poor words. All good though, as your frustration is correctly aimed.
Great move, plus we get the bonus of watching certain forums and entitled idiots melt down into sobbing tantrums over this. Watching terrible people anguish and threaten not to buy a PS5 over this is really entertaining, so there's a silver lining here.
Wonder how it works for getting money back for those ads they paid for that said June 4th.
I can't imagine what their finance department is looking like.
