GOT EMMM

 

they meant to say “...as long as they aren’t standing against the Chinese government.”

opportunistic shitheels

 

Real gamers rise up

 

I mean there’s riots in Tokyo and Osaka over it!

 

Also very glad to see such enthusiasm for TLOU2. Beyond excited. Just finished another playthrough of the remaster and the DLC. So so so ready. That State of Play event was brilliant and it seems to be getting incredibly positive responses. A nice big middle finger to the naysayers and arsemongers. Knew this’d be something special. Somehow even more excited now.

 

Was just coming to post this. Crazy.

 

Can’t believe we went the whole day with not a single soul posting that, and then it being milkshake to be the one. Strange times indeed

 

I don't post in this thread often but I felt like this tweet needed some attention

 

This is why you should post here more often, otherwise we would have completely missed this tweet

 

I came back for this

 

The actual reason they are postponing is probably because they think they wouldn't get the eyeballs and the coverage they want. That's not to say there aren't people at Sony that care about the issues, but I don't think that's why they pushed the event, because there is always something fucked up going on somewhere. This just happens to be going in their most important market, so they'd rather run their highly produced commercial when more people in that market are paying attention.

That doesn't mean I'm against pushing the event. I just think the more cynical people here are right.

 

Regardless of what the motives were it was still the right thing to do. Maybe it will make outraged nerds realise that there's things in the world that are much more important than their video games. it won't

 

Yeah I guess. Though you could probably argue that the fact that it takes an American problem for them to do something like this (and for people to demand it/praise it) is also kind of messed up. Then again in response to that you could say that if they push events for time something fucked up is going on, they probably wouldn't hold events.

 

Yeah I see that side of it to, kinda makes it seem like issues in other parts of the world aren't as important. that's how Western media works unfortunately.

 

The fact that they posted this but not a BLM post too shows how influenced the decision was by the Sony/PlayStation NA/Euro divisions tbh

 

To be fair though after the pulse nightclub shooting Sony did have a very sincere/positive support message for the LGBQT community. Which was very unexpected I felt, and during their press conference. So they have had moments like this where they recognize the bigger issues, and it’s just nice. Though I agree they could do more.

 

there is always more to do but it’s v hard to be mad at Sony for doing the right thing

 

bets on ps5 leaks this week?

 

my uncle at nintendo said tomorrow

 

*and posts on 4chan

 

Was able to snag this from amazon warehouse. Do you guys think I’ll be able to get the games with it? I’m assuming they’re digital copies so I’m betting not. Not a big deal to me since I already played HZD and TLOU, so this deal was too good to pass up regardless:

 

Woke up this morning, checked Twitter, this was the first thing I saw. Wild, huh.
