Maybe I shouldn't have said only and been more specific but I do think a certain level of privilege is needed for gaming, and I do think that this privilege is reflected in how large parts of the "gaming community" operate.

When it´s only the U.S. that has a stake in this problem then you´ll have a point.
Open a history book. Violence has pretty much always been the answer.Exactly. Unfortunately this will not end any time soon although needs to. Destroying and terrorizing cities is not the answer to the problem. I think this is going to make race relations a lot worse.
While my heart aches for what is happening in America at the moment (and has done for many years) some of you need to remember that America is not the entire world.
While America is an important market, Sony are not an American company (unlike Google, EA and Microsoft).
It's a sad fact that injustices as bad or worse than what is happening in America occur daily everywhere in the world, unfortunately many of those places do not have the freedom of the press to give their issues a voice. Slightly off-topic I know, and not intended to detract from the horrible oppression of minorities in the US - but some context when people are comparing this to COVID-19 which actually IS a global disaster.
Because this is a pivotal moment for that problem or do you think protests are only happening in the U.S.?So you want to delay the event, because the whole word has problems with racism?
fyi you quoted me with a text i think someone else posted
It's historic alright. I'm black and I think this had crossed from protest to terrorism.

Good on them for speaking up when so many others aren't. Now they should also donate.

I agree. It probably should be delayed. This could drag out and Sony has time on their side. Even if for a week, it'll show they're with the protesters

What are you doing?
People's lives don't stop when tragedies like these happen. Millions still have to go to work tomorrow. I don't see what delaying would accomplish.I think Sony should delay the event of things haven't cooled down in the next couple of days.

your quotes keep getting translated to spanish for some reason, btw[QUOTE = "Truant, publicación: 35539017, miembro: 21533"]
Esto es BS corporativo y sin el contexto, el texto podría aplicarse básicamente a cualquier cosa. "Impulsar el cambio" es algo que presento a los líderes empresariales en mis presentaciones de PowerPoint. Simplemente diga "las vidas negras importan" y sea el dueño.

Without context? I don't think so, look, if you don't like that message I can put other messages of true solidarity shared by other managers. Just because it's not a sony message doesn't mean you can discredit it. This is a problem in which many companies are showing their support, stop fanaticism.

C'mon. This is big. This isn't some singular event that led to this. You know this. If things continue how they have, police brutality is going to keep happening. Americans, especially Black folks, are going to keep getting killed. They've tried peaceful protests, they've tried other methods, at this point what's left?
How can you say its terrorism? :/ People are just fighting to get equality. They are tired of seeing other Americans getting killed or shot at just because of their skin color. They are tired of being oppressed. They are tired of being killed openly and nothing happening.
It would show that Sony is with the protesters. Similar to when Nintendo delayed their direct due to the tsunami. If Sony goes forward it could come off as insensitive, especially if things are as bad or get worse for protesters in the next few days.People's lives don't stop when tragedies like these happen. Millions still have to go to work tomorrow. I don't see what delaying would accomplish.
exactly thisDelaying the event is not needed. It's not going to help the movement. If Sony wants to actually help things they should donate.
Great statements but it annoys me that they only speak up when it doesn't affect them financially in any way
I wish they'd spoken up against China when HK was getting into a huge fuckin mess but speaking up against China affects them much worse than speaking up against police
not just Sony or ms but companies in general. Or people. Everyone. Frustrating
What's cynical about that stance ?On the main thread people are more cynical, saying it's an empty statement if they aren't donating or taking some action
