They have a global workforce, events like this require people to travel, etc.
The last of us 2 delayed again
That's odd, like the staff can wear masks to avoid getting the virus 🤔
They hire the booth people to but eh, it is what it is
Unless they fly in people from their headquarters to help demo stuff, idk

I don't blame them at all.
But this will only make some people that much more restless and riled up.

You make too much sense, shame most people on the internet will get mad
With one case that seems rather overzealous but okay, maybe the employees didn't want to travel.
This wouldn't be surprising at all, if you've been following the news.
Depends, do you fly half across the world and meet up with tons of people who just did the same on a daily basis?
I don't have any problem with this. Being cautious while people are still trying to contain this thing is an intelligent thoughtful thing to do.
The only thing looking forward from Sony in a next couple weeks has been canceled. Resetera about to collapse, lmao
This probably isn't a case of Sony proactively cancelling, so much as all the employees key to travelling not being willing to do so.
Good article to read in light of Sony pulling out of PAX

Coronavirus cancellations show evidence-based decisions are rare during epidemics
We don’t know how risky the virus is, which makes it seem riskier

This isn't how it works. At all. Coming from someone who has been dealing with this type of cancellations.
Ummmm they have a moral obligation to not put their employees' lives at risk
I think it's totally worth being safe. This isn't really a big deal.
Searching for pax east 2019 trailer on youtube gives plenty of results.
I guess if you plan to attend you'd also plan to share something on youtube?
i think this is almost a guarantee at this point, xbox as well
this is my guess too at this point
Starting to feel more and more like the ps3 all over again
Then their employees shouldn't go to work at all since the chances of them dieing in a car crash is magnitudes higher than them dieing to coronavirus.
I think events being cancelled in the US due to virus scares are over reactionary.
I love how these problems only affect Sony and no other company.
If more people were as cautious as Sony maybe it wouldn't have spread as much. I have no problem with this.
