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.

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?

Dude, stop, not trying to act like mod, I'm not, but this is not a topic for this type of mundane argument.

This is a weird way to hear about a game for the first time.
Of course it's a catch-all argument, that's exactly why it applies to this game also.
It's highly unlikely that I'm going to visit all of any type of thread on here and you'll find that I've not told anybody to stop talking about anything in any of the threads that I have visited or will likely ever visit on here. If I was wanting you to "stop talking" then it would have made far more sense for me to not reply to you instead of doing what I did do, which was, replying to you.
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.

You know guys maybe once in a while we can have some sympathy and respect instead of thinking that the world revolves around our opinions and that anyone else must have a wire loose?
Conspiracies and judgement aside I respect the developers for this. Even if for you it "isn't remotely close", it still might be for someone. We can't please everyone but we can please as many as we can.
It's a sensitive time and they decided to respond in this way.

Well here's a quote from a synopsis of the game.
So it's a videogame that has a teenage girl with a bomb strapped to her chest, releasing the same week as a major terror incident involving a suicide bomber.
So delaying the game was the correct and most respectful choice.

Please stop. You're being extremely insensitive to not only that one soul, but to the others that have died recently.
MGS2 also, after 9/11 happened
edit - wait, was it not delayed but just had scenes removed? I thought I remembered it being pushed back but maybe I'm wrong.

devs and pub made the right choice. Second op is terrible.
Cue and queue are different words to be fair.
Do you REALLY need to do this? And keep going? Stop.

Yeah double down that's the spirit
That was my point, though.
EDIT:
Ah, I see what you mean. It could actually mean either "queue" or "cue" in the original context.

This kind of thing is extremely common, especially in mobile/digital only games.

I've never heard of this game, but good on them.
I'm just sharing my opinion, just like you.
But I guess it's not ok to not want to see the terrorists win.

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.
It's not "bad," it's meaningless and no ones lives will be affected by it.

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.

I'm sure the terrorist are really going to be rooting for a month long delay of a video game due to sensitivity.

Well that's interesting, copies already shipped to stores this week (I had them in my hands today) so expect to see a bunch on eBay for a high markup.
It's horrible what happened to those 20+ children, and indeed what terrible fate befalls children in this world every day, but their lives will not be affected by the delay of this B video game.

Devs made the connection and made the decision. You wouldn't make the connection and wouldn't make the decision.
Exactly, the developers only served to publicize the connection.

hey why are you still doing this
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.
Well I sure as hell remember last year the week of E3 when the nightclub in Florida was shot up, and numerous people covering games that week commented on how uncomfortable it was to have to be enthusiastically covering a bunch of shooters. Bandai Namco were in a position to delay the launch of their game, and so they chose to do so.
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...
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.
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.
Try again.

Threads like this were users can't reach obvious conclusions are always great for exposing who hasn't been properly socialized.
Fun fact, for a B-tier game that doesn't matter, you seem to want to post about it.

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.
Thirsty for those anime girls.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
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.

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.

That's a nice gesture of them.
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?
They aren't going to get any more development time. Game is already published at in some stores.
It is literally going to sit in the back for a month.
