They will hold it in the summer.

 

[Grinchy]

Thanks a lot, Microsoft. Even the event planners are too afraid of you to go to the event.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Ouch.

Well just sit it out and have a few Corona Extra with a lime.

Nothing of value was lost FOR ME*.
*Apparently this has to be said to stop sensitive people from getting triggered.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Splat.

 

[Alexios]

Noting of value was lost.

I mean, GDC is mostly for devs and stuff, they did it because they found value in it and we got some cool tid bits with discussions and interviews we cared about occasionally too, who are you to say that, lol. Glad it's just been basically postponed rather than cancelled, though I imagine many can't make new plans to attend.

Why the fk Ms was barking soon soon soon, pow .

I was looking forward to the Gamer's Don't Care conference.

Street Fighter tournament canceled too for same reason.

They will hold it in the summer.

There is no way this virus will be all over by summer. If anything, it's getting worse.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Good.

 

[mejin]

No Sony, no show

 

[MoreJRPG]

E3 next to go.

 

[CatLady]

GDC isn't cancelled until Microsoft says it's cancelled

The corona virus might actually save humanity before it's all said and done.

Gotta make it clear that its actually postponed and not cancelled

We all saw this coming with everyone noping out

Its an opinion, I never get anything out of it. Are you one of those people that need every post to have imo before it to not get triggered?

 

[Raziel]

but will gdc do webstreams and downloads?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Sony first tho.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Crazy times. Smart move, though. It's not like streaming your announcements via YouTube is difficult. Niintendo has the right idea with their Direct format.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I didn't particularly want to go anyway, so I'm happy.

the rate of death in developed countries is reaching regular flu levels and Israel claims they will have a vaccine likely by next week

 

[Mista]

I can see E3 being next which will be sad. I have this E3 ritual every year for god knows how many years

If they cancelled it it’ll be such a let down

 

[JordanN]

This was Sony's master plan. Everyone cancels, but then they show up again and reveal PS5.

 

[DoctaThompson]

I'll have a tall glass of Corona virus, with a slice of Lyme disease, please

lol

They could launch PS5 with a Folding At Home successor that develops a cornavirus cure while your console is in sleep mode.

 

[Woo-Fu]

The story says 'Postponed'. The URL says 'canceled'. Make up your mind, IGN.

 

[Captain Hero]

Everything will be cancelled except one thing ..

Hollywood.. just wait there will be a new trailer for a new movie called
Resident Evil : C-virus

Fucking unbelievable

They just gave an Oscar to a South Korean predictive programming movie.

The Hollywood propaganda machine never stops.

I mean, the games aren't cancelled over this, why would movies get cancelled?

You must be getting your news/views from Trump, lol. Parasite has great reviews all over the world from independent critics, agencies and viewers, not just Hollywood. It also isn't (about) predictive programming.

Its an opinion, I never get anything out of it. Are you one of those people that need every post to have imo before it to not get triggered?

No, an opinion is "I never cared for GDC, it can fuck off and die for all I care" or whatever, what you did was an attempt to state that opinion as an universal fact for everyone, whether they feel different or not, by stating the thing you don't care for has no value whatsoever (not just to you), an imo before or after doesn't change that.

I rarely disagree with you but Parasite shat on every Hollywood movie

I feel ya. I always take the day off work for the Microsoft Press Conference. It's like an early Christmas.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I’m not saying it’s a bad movie, I just find the “coincidence” of it all.

 

[Alexios]

Guess they forgot to ask what timing is convenient for you for a director/writer and all the cast and stars to align so they strike gold and get widely acknowledged by the rest of the world. Freaking South Koreans at it again, timing their awesome movie hits and the Oscars during bad trade relations with the US of A, the nerve!

 

[Insane Metal]

Bam.

Knew this was coming. From now on I expect all major events to be postponed or have a digital only version.

Can’t a joke be a fucking joke?

FFS, chill out on the extra.

 

[Javthusiast]

Never actually cared for GDC personally so whatevs.

Gonna relax and put some Fast and Furious on, to hear Vin shill for some of that good Corona, mi familia.

Why are jumping down everyone throats? You can't handle someone knocking a stupid videogame conference or a movie that doesn't matter?

Watch out man .. leave the lights on

You seriously thought I meant GDC has zero value for everyone lol. You shoulda just taken a second and thought about how illogical your interpretation sounded. I'm not gonna discuss this anymore because I'm sure people know that's obviously not what my post means.
