The only way to get a date with hot women these days is to show her that you play video games

---

Honestly...I'm a little annoyed too.

We need some breaks and distractions from the bullshit that is real life. Not that that aren't important things going on but fuck, just release some video game news and let people enjoy some shit for a minute.

They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight

You're probably being facetious but it's entirely possible to play video games and not agree with those people

What does delaying them do, other than give those companies more press later

They don't give a shit about any of this, just how it benefits them

They didn't cancel it for a good reason though. Sony doesn't care about BLM, they are just avoiding a PR Nightmare by some idiots calling them insensitive if they did have the PS5 event as planned.

Sony fanboys are the worst

Yep and I said I was going to get warned for it too. They were mocking somebody I knew get killed last night. So well worth it

idk what you mean by once again. Ive been warned like once in the last year

Delaying a digital event is nothing. Nintendo also did it when Japan was hit by an Earthquake.

Only reason E3 kept going after the gay nightclub mass shooting was because it was too much of a headache to delay.
