What sort of metered out discussion do you expect to such a comment?
Such a comment asking about empathy? I don't think it's out of the question that the poster is literally confused and not just masking a greedy wish.

Good fucking lord, OP...
Publisher/developer decides to delay the game they created/publishing "out of respect for the victims and family of a terror attack.
Queue gamers complaining about it.
They can delay their game for as long as they want and for any reason that they choose and to be honest, it's nobody else's damn business.
No counter-argument?
How many mass shootings involving white males have there been? How many resulted in your typical dudebro FPS being delayed?
It's "cue", and it's only a tangential relation. It attributes a greater importance to the game than it deserves.
That's a catch-all argument that could be applied to any game releasing in any state. Of course it's their property and they can do whatever they want. Does that mean you're going to go to all the other threads the argument applies to and tell people to stop talking about them?
That seems like a nice gesture but I don't think anyone was gonna buy this game anyway.
Of course it's a catch-all argument, that's exactly why it applies to this game also.That's a catch-all argument that could be applied to any game releasing in any state.

With Cole Black's memory lost, his job is to find out why a teenage girl has a bomb strapped to her chest.
Hey man congratulations on being the all time worstI'd like to meet the person whose life this ultimately ends up affecting, whoever that lone soul may be.
Please stop. You're being extremely insensitive to not only that one soul, but to the others that have died recently.I'd like to meet the person whose life this ultimately ends up affecting, whoever that lone soul may be.
This happens all the time.
Motorstorm Apocalypse's release was delayed due to the 2011 Japan Tsunami for example.
The video game Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was released as scheduled in November 2001 despite the plot centering on terrorists in New York City and a scene in which a giant battleship crashes into Federal Hall National Memorial; however, a scene in which Arsenal Gear, a futuristic mobile fortress, destroys the Statue of Liberty and much of Manhattan's Financial District was removed, as was live-action footage of the Twin Towers originally slated to be used in the ending.
Cue and queue are different words to be fair.EDIT:
Ha, he/she is now suggesting that "queue" is incorrectly spelt and that "cue" is the only correct spelling of the word. Excellent demonstration of that global view he/she possesses.
Do you REALLY need to do this? And keep going? Stop.It's strange that I would have likely never heard of this game if it weren't for news of the delay. I wonder why that is.
Yeah double down that's the spiritIt's strange that I would have likely never heard of this game if it weren't for news of the delay. I wonder why that is.
That was my point, though.Cue and queue are different words to be fair.
devs and pub made the right choice. Second op is terrible.

Nah, you're being insensitive and doubling down when that's being pointed out for nothing more than shock value. Fishing for quotes. A game being delayed isn't "letting the terrorists win" what a dumb, nonsensical notion.I'm just sharing my opinion, just like you.
But I guess it's not ok to not want to see the terrorists win.
Some of the responses in this thread are depressing to read and show a complete lack of empathy. I shouldn't be surprised but here I am thinking how the fuck are people spinning this into something bad.
Good on the devs/pubs for thinking of others.
You shouldn't let it bother you so much in that case. 20+ actual kids died and you can't get over them doing this because you think it's meaningless. Good job on being a decent person.It's not "bad," it's meaningless and no ones lives will be affected by it.

Genuinely curious, why notSo any game involving a female being killed through explosives should be delayed?
Devs made the connection and made the decision. You wouldn't make the connection and wouldn't make the decision.I wonder if anyone would have even made the "connection" between the game and the Manchester bombing if the developers hadn't pointed it out by publicizing a delay.

hey why are you still doing thisI wonder if anyone would have even made the "connection" between the game and the Manchester bombing if the developers hadn't pointed it out by publicizing a delay.
And?Exactly, the developers only served to publicize the connection.
No counter-argument?

And?
I hate PR bullshit as much as you do (like that dev who said "if you are a Trump supporter, don't buy our game", maybe he was honest but that seemed strange), but this is not the case.
They are not delaying it for three days so people don't forget it too fast. One month is a lot.
To me that is sad that people think a month is enough time to forget such a tragic bombing, but I guess that makes me a monster.
Did you want them to scrap the project entirely? Maybe they didn't want coverage about their girl-strapped-to-a-bomb game to be going on around the time of a fucking bombing.
But please, keep digging this hole...
A news story about a delay is nowhere near the same as the kind of coverage you would be getting when your game is actually out.Fun fact: Their girl-strapped-to-a-bomb game is getting coverage around the time of a fucking bombing, and it's the developers own doing.

Because they made a game about a girl strapped to a bomb. They didn't suddenly just make a game about it. It's terrible timing.Fun fact: Their girl-strapped-to-a-bomb game is getting coverage around the time of a fucking bombing, and it's the developers own doing.
hey why are you still doing this
A month is a lot in this industry. Plus it will be released after E3, when people will be too excited after seeing dozens of cool blockbusters. They won't remember this cheap thriller game. So I don't think I understand this logic.I think they anticipating maybe a backlash, but they are getting good PR press by delaying it and showing they care.
I dunno, maybe I'm jaded, but it sounds hollow. A month is nothing.

Try again.
And they'll still get that coverage when it is released a mere month from now. They are just piling onto the press they will get anyway.
You're suggesting that paying for another month of development time is worth the very small publicity bump they're getting from this?
