Do you feel ashamed of yourself for looking forward to a video game presentation at such a time as this?

No.

It would've been a good escape from reality for at least an hour.

Thats a bad way to go about this dude lol. Its escapism for a lot of people.

That doesnt excuse the comments in that thread though. I get why they postponed it. It is a minor event in the grand scheme of things

I was being sarcastic, although I do not agree with this.

That's how I see it. Why make people feel better, let's just stand in stoic solidarity because fuck you for wanting a good time #SOCIALISSUES.

Things are bad, yes, but how is this making things better? Sony is a multinational corporation. They aren't an individual, just a homogenous entity with no opinion or sentiments. Doing this just seems arbitrary and hollow. Pressing on like nothing has changed seems more honest and real when everyone already knows they just want to turn a buck.

The more cynical (and the reason I subscribe to) reason is that they don't want their news overshadowed in the news cycle by ongoing current events. So they'll wait until they can hog the spotlight.

Just another example of how the game industry doesn't make the consumers feel like they matter and are all too interested in being relevant to their investors.

If I had to guess, there's probably one specific game/trailer they had lined up that could be considered in bad taste given recent events.

The only postulation I saw that makes sense is someone on Reddit said with PlayStation delaying their PS5 showcase, Activision felt they needed to stay in lockstep with it as Season 4's launch was meant to coincide with the reveal of Call of Duty 2020 at said event.

But even in my head that sounds like a stretch. They did a Double Everything weekend because Season 3 was coming to a close, the launch date seemed pretty firm and I can't imagine what it would really have to do with the PS5 event, CoD 2020 or otherwise.

Maybe the cosmetics are tied to the 2020 game.
