Everything if a private company decided it wasn't the right time to show something..human life and equality is more important to video games unless you don't view certain individuals as humans.. what they did was a two prong stance for business and for their version of being moral...to be honest as soon as I heard the services were being held for George Floyd on Thursday I knew Sony wouldn't do the event...it takes to much of the press and it would be in bad taste to do so..people act like you can't kill 2 birds with on stone you can and Sony proved it for the majority of humans..am I disappointed of course I already have my days off but you know what as a Black man I prefer being treated as a real human with human emotions more important than a reveal which is going to happen anyway..
It's because people want to prove their "point", they really aren't thinking critically. Using some faux logic to make their point seem like a "gotcha moment".Why does everyone always have to redirect the conversation I'm talking about the US not China and India and specifically about Black and Brown people in the US..stop making excuses it is what it is just because you haven't done anything specific to your actions doesn't mean that a certain percentage doesn't..take my word as a Black man and deal with if it was my first time playing hockey and you told me which skates were the best I would listen to you.
Well it didn't have to be, and honestly, we can blame the very same media for blowing things out of proportion.You keep missing the forest from the trees. This isn’t just about one unfortunate death. Unless you’ve been living under a rock this whole time, it is very evident that it served as a catalyst to everything going on up to this point (and still goin’). This incident has led to significant ripple effects all throughout the US and some parts of the world across several key issues. Sony is just weighing in and letting their stance known but this, as you can see with your very own eyes, is much, much bigger than one company’s reaction.
You know what puzzles me the most? Sony postponing the PS5 games presentation over what's going on within the USA, BUT having their biggest stronghold in Europe and Asia. Postponing the event over what happened on the US is basically dismissing their european and asian audience (when they have nothing to do with what happens within the USA).I mean I get why they are doing it. Not because Sony cares so much about this protest shit. But because the news will barely pick up PS5 because of it. So it's a marketing decision disguised as some moral choice.
Have you been paying any attention to the news at all over the past few months? This has nothing to do with "those 500 shooting deaths".Well it didn't have to be, and honestly, we can blame the very same media for blowing things out of proportion.
Any of those 500 shooting deaths could have caused the same thing, yet this one was somehow different even when the President was the first to order an condemnation and a federal investigation makes it look very.... strange.
Why this over any other incident is a conversation for another time, another category and another threadWell it didn't have to be, and honestly, we can blame the very same media for blowing things out of proportion.

I think he doesn't realise people have a boiling point, like it's simple chemistry and psychology.Have you been paying any attention to the news at all over the past few months? This has nothing to do with "those 500 shooting deaths".
If you want to tell me, I'm all ears.Have you been paying any attention to the news at all over the past few months? This has nothing to do with "those 500 shooting deaths".
It's nuts to say every Black and Brown person is suffering. Just by sheer population, there are just as many White Americans who are also in poverty or murdered by the police. Racism isn't what has to hold them down, you can get people who choose to fail school or become drug dealers. That's not something you can fix or throw money at without the individual choosing to improve themselves.
They don't want to do it this week because they know their marketing will be drown out by all the rioting shit, they don't care about anything going on they just want a free and clear path to market their console.I thought its gona be online event and prerecorded, hows that affected by real life i dont get it.
Just show it. People will watch it and be happy about it. Wtf sony?
This is pretty naive of you.This is sad that a company can’t even put something above them out of respect for a moment in time without getting g assaulted for it!
Damn shame man, and word on the street that this is just pushed back a week is all!
very weak of most of you in here man!
Here's what is actually going on.They don't want to do it this week because they know their marketing will be drown out by all the rioting shit, they don't care about anything going on they just want a free and clear path to market their console.
They're trash, and trying to mask this very obvious reality by virtue signaling.
Gamers always manage to find a new low.This is sad that a company can’t even put something above them out of respect for a moment in time without getting g assaulted for it!

So what do we call it when companies do the complete opposite? Do you still view them as saints or opportunists?This is sad that a company can’t even put something above them out of respect for a moment in time without getting g assaulted for it!
Really???This is pretty naive of you.
Here's what is actually going on.
The protests are happening all over the world at the moment, if they go through with their conference, they will most likely lose profits. If you don't realise that this is huge, then you either lack empathy or are just 100% ignorant in this case. Sure people die, and something atrocious happens everyday, sure most people move on and work as normal, but there are times when people have had enough and industries around the world will have to acknowledge that because social media and other things.Everyday something will happen in the world, so what? Now they gonna postpon for everything, do they not get it? We sitting at homes waiting for something cool and new to watch online here, yes while world burning or dying etc so what?
Yh hope it would leak now and ruin their surprise all together.
No one cares about any of that, they've continually screwed around their consumer base and it's getting old. They made a pre-recorded video, there's no reason not to release it.Really???
because I didn’t know there were people who can read minds and see through someone and their actions from overseas!
every damn company is doing the same damn thing and have been expressing the same sentiments across the board all week long!
like what the actual fuck is wrong with y’all man! It’s just a fucking console and we have people lives out here being ruined from some shit we silently protested about years ago and been praying and shit for the past 400 to get y’all to understand and treat as just as equally as our white peers!
now it’s chaos and your precious game reveals gets delayed and you still don’t give a fuck!
fuck the fuck off!!!
Here's something that will blow people's minds.No one cares about any of that, they've continually screwed around their consumer base and it's getting old. They made a pre-recorded video, there's no reason not to release it.
I am not in a bubble. I know for a fact it is a race issue within the United States. It may not be global but it definitely is affecting the world as little as it may seem it's having an effect at least based on Sony postponementI invite you to do the same. What is happening right now in the united states its not a global issue, its not a race issue, its an issue of the united states.
Besides the lack of profits? Or bad will that would be garnered if they do release it? I'm a company I'm going to focus on my relations more than satisfying the irate "gamers". At least that's what their risk analysts would think. They care as much as it is possible for a conglomerate are able to care.No one cares about any of that, they've continually screwed around their consumer base and it's getting old. They made a pre-recorded video, there's no reason not to release it.
Please educate yourself on the state of urban areas in the US as far as funding and other things go. Then come back and most of the Black and Brown are suffering right now..Anger, Hurt suffering is more than be financially stable.You literally just said "see the injustice that minorities around the globe suffer ". There are countries where non-white people do hold the majority and run the government.
And in regards to the USA, again, poor choices and actual racism are not mutually exclusive.

Yes, yes you are. Could use more drama though.My hopes and dreams are ruined. Sony is stupid and scared and doomed. Am I doing this right?

You're right and wrong. Yes this is a forum solely focused on games, and some off-topic/politics. But in a world with as much as social media as we have now, there is no way for games to remain apolitical. That's just something you have to deal with. Personally I don't care about politics in my games, but I at least acknowledge the current atmosphere.This is a gaming forum can you blame us for not giving two shits about your political agenda?
I'll be voting Xbox this election if I bother voting.You're right and wrong. Yes this is a forum solely focused on games, and some off-topic/politics.

Damn... seriously? Come on... Then delay the PS5 for next year. So we only have seen the Dualsense and they will reveal the console in August maybe?
Just want to say, fuck the US.
Nobody told them to elect a non functional racist idiot.
I would expect anyone whose lives in poverty to be suffering, not because of their skin color.Please educate yourself on the state of urban areas in the US as far as funding and other things go. Then come back and most of the Black and Brown are suffering right now..
And I think this applies to all groups. There's no proof every White American is happy or you can just look at them and know what their mental state is. But all groups should be happy they live in the USA whose modern institutions clearly enable anyone to rise up provided they do work hard for it.Cptmurdap said:Anger, Hurt suffering is more than be financially stable.
Well it actually is for PlayStation
Really disappointed in Sony.
The USA is not the whole world.
