Yes, someone needs to think about the children.
I know what you are doing but I'll break it down anyone just in case anyone agrees with you.Also, we should close grocery stores and force people to order all their food via delivery.
We should also warn against parties.
Should close schools too imo, the kids are very dirty.
That would be a great gesture that would show compassion and appreciation for the fans. I doubt they do it though.They should put the demos up on PSN then. This is a major bummer :/
If they are lying about it, that's much worse as it helps contribute to the culture of fear in the United States, what the fuck is this post?
You're an idiot.There is a decent chance of death at every event with a significant amount of participants who drive. This chance of death from car crash is much higher than chance of death from coronavirus.
Giving into a culture of fear and promoting the culture of fear as legitimate is dumb shit.
Of course it's not his choice to make what Sony does, that doesn't mean he can't criticize them though.If he wants to go. Fine. It's not his choice to make what Sony does. If no one gets sick here. GREAT.
Imagine using this to concern troll and spread "its really internal turmoil" fears for the sake of console warring opportunities
Then their employees shouldn't go to work at all since the chances of them dieing in a car crash is magnitudes higher than them dieing to coronavirus.
I think events being cancelled in the US due to virus scares are over reactionary.
Well...We're gamers. What did you expect?This whole thread is depressing.
I thought ResetEra is better than this.
Like what?Since you brought it up speak your mindi honestly can't even imagine a world in which a company as large as Sony doesn't have an ulterior motive for a decision like this
You are acting like a 12 year old.There is a decent chance of death at every event with a significant amount of participants who drive. This chance of death from car crash is much higher than chance of death from coronavirus.

Well it was only a matter of time before this type of comment was posted...Look, I get the concern I really do.
But this is just becoming too ironic and Sony is starting to become a meme. I honestly think there is more internal turmoil internally than what we are aware of; especially with the PS5.
I respect their decision on this but I doubt them pulling out in its entirety is because of the covid 19, but it is the easiest way to pull out from the event with the least amount of PR damage.
Why dont they go all digital for the event ? Provisions can be made and adapted and there is no reason they cant "attend" via this method.
Unfortunately being extremely stupid is not a bannable offence.

So, are we gonna see the PS5...ever? They pulled out of this and E3, and don't seem to have much in terms of their own events
...Wondercon? SDCC?
Ah, the Game of Thrones approachno. The PS5 doesn't actually exist and Sony doesn't know how to tell us so they keep putting it offhoping you'll just forget.
Lol. Sony as a company pulled out of MWC 2020 before the whole event got cancelled due to the coronavirus. Do you think they pulled out of a phone conference because of some internal turmoil with the PS5 too?Look, I get the concern I really do.

Come on guys, Sony aren't dumb. You can call them names etc if they start claiming that vaccination is bad. The coronavirus doesn't seem to be more lethal than the flu if I've understood it correct (you're welcome to correct me if I'm wrong here.) But better safe than sorry.
Whatever you're arguing is not sticking so I think you should just step away from this thread. Concerns about racism over wife does not equate to making sure the virus doesn't get a chance to spread.Do you think that the people who are hyping up this virus as the end of the world drive cars or drink alcohol.
Or eat lots of sugar.
Do they view health as the end all be all or have they watched too much CNN and too many zombie movies.

It's very much the latter.Some people in this thread have either huge issues in comprehending basic correlations or should revalidate their morals.
PS5 Has No Games.no. The PS5 doesn't actually exist and Sony doesn't know how to tell us so they keep putting it offhoping you'll just forget.
What the fuck? That's not right, super scummy. Imagine if you paid to go to a music festival and the headline band said they didn't want to play and they were the reason you bought a ticket and not being able to get a refund. I hope people go after whoever organizes pax for that and they have to change it.I read earlier in the thread that PAX is upholding their no refund policy.
As far as I know you're incorrect. I believe the current number puts the mortality rate at around 2% and as far as I know the flu is way under 1%.

Hypothetically, they could have hit any number of issues compromising a potiential PAX East show, and could use this as an excuse without actually being concerned about the virus. Because they aren't *wrong* to avoid the show, but they are also the only ones exhibiting such caution - which makes their excuse potientially suspect.Why in God's name would they be lying about it? Seriously not everything is a conspiracy and not everything is nefarious. Seriously take a Step back.
Hard to do that when your entire world view and critical thinking ability revolves around "how does this relate to my ability to get video game news?"
Problem is that people will datamine demos that get downloaded onto their systems and leak stuff. Limiting them to tightly-secured trade shows heavily reduces the risk of that happening.That would be a great gesture that would show compassion and appreciation for the fans. I doubt they do it though.

I travel to the UK every week from CA to get some branston pickle....I know what you are doing but I'll break it down anyone just in case anyone agrees with you.
1. People from all of the world aren't flying in to use your local grocery store or go to your party.
2. Schools do close in case of outbreaks and don't let kids come if they are seriously sick.
I'm wondering if Sony is cancelling GDC as well. Its also an international conference with people flying from all over the world.If coronavirus is a threat at the event, then maybe Pax East should be cancelled altogether.
