LOL. I remember that thread. Ppl were crazy thinking it would not be canceled or postponed.This seems like an overreaction. They probably have nothing new to show.

No official statement by Koeln Messe yet but see this as the confirmation. Wouldn't post a doubtful source.I don't really see a source, but ah well, it is very likely indeed and I don't even care.

It's not. Whatever "GamesWirtschaft" is, it is not the Government. There is no official statement by the government regarding this and also other respectable German news outlets have not further detailed what exactly Merkel and the Ministers are planning since 2 pm CEST at least in regards to this topic.Source is the German government. It banned major events like Gamescom until August 31.

Großveranstaltungen sollen wegen der Corona-Pandemie bis zum 31. August grundsätzlich untersagt werden - auch Fußballspiele sind davon betroffen. Die Ministerpräsidenten der Länder und Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU) einigten sich nach Informationen der Deutschen Presse-Agentur am Mittwoch bei einer Schaltkonferenz auf dieses prinzipielle Verbot. Konkrete Regelungen, etwa zur Größe der Veranstaltungen, sollen durch die Länder getroffen werden.
dpa iformation. We are all waiting here right now, because our government and all ministers are having a meeting right ow, about how to proceed afterI don't really see a source, but ah well, it is very likely indeed and I don't even care.

"No shit" I just said to my monitor as I read the thread title.
So what's the over under on TGS happening this year? And if it does happen what do you all think the turnout will be? I could almost see a scenario where with E3, Gamescom and various other shows/conventions like PAX and such not happening TGS suddenly becomes the defacto convention of the year (at least for big AAA companies)?
Admittedly, I'm really only basing that on the fact that with it being a September convention it has the potential to be the first post quarantine convention (at least the first major one) and it'll be probably the last big convention prior to the holiday release season. At the very least I could see MS, Nintendo, and Sony having a potentially bigger presence there than they originally planned. I guess we'll just have to wait to see.
Sorry, but what i said was a joke.
Welt and Bild as most reliable sources ... gaaaaaave me a good laugh, but in this case, yeah you can take this for granted.
I thought it was known even outside the places bild is aviable that its as far from reliable as earth from alpha centauri, but seems i was wrong.Not doubting the original tweet at all (GamesWirtschaft ist a very reliable place), but that sentence really hurts unless you forgot some sort of /s there.
Depends. TGS falls in the timeframe of a potential second outbreak in fall. (If there even is a downturn in summer)
Japan is in a weird position, since it's only had it's first "proper" outbreak in the past few weeks, and there's already indications that suggest said outbreak may wind up being similar to what South Korea experienced (in terms of official figures for cases and deaths), rather than what happened in Europe. I'd still say Tokyo Games Show probably won't happen.True. This is all very dependent on things taking a turn for the better which isn't out of the question but is definitely very optimistic. I could even see TGS literally happening before the next big coronavirus outbreak. Basically I see September being a weird attempt to return things to the norm.
UPDATE: A digital form will happen!
Can a Mod update the title, please?
