Good move Sony

 

[Deleted member 2791]

Clearly the good move, although all those TV ads made me think that there's no way they'd delay it.

 

[Futabaisthebest<3]

Good move, Sony.

 

[jon bones]

Good, there are more important things happening right now that the world needs to see

 

[Chanser]

Makes sense.

 

[Herb Alpert]

That's better like this

Wise move

 

[Murder She Wrote]

I understand, although I was looking forward to something happy and good :(

 

[National Scar]

The replies to that tweet are predictably awful.

 

[SystemBug]

good!

 

[darkwing]

good move Sony

 

[--R]

It's a good move, I'm obviously bummed out but I completely understand that it was needed.

 

[Skot]

Right move with everything happening but I think this will likely be next week now.

 

[jwk94]

Well that sucks, but it's understandable.

 

[entremet]

Good move.

 

[Grimwood]

Fuuuuuuck.
With that reason, there never will be a "good time for celebration", but oh well.

 

[Deleted member 8752]

Good decision.

 

[Jean Valjean]

Well... I respect that.

 

[Lotus]

As expected. Good on them.

 

[Modest_Modsoul]

Doh. 😐

 

[Ankit Gaba]

So July it is?

 

[Smokeymicpot]

Smart move.

 

[Deleted member 32679]

it's a good decision but I'm a bit salty.

 

[platocplx]

More than likely next week maybe. its a good move. a little sad but I get it.

 

[ezekial45]

Yeah, this ain't the week for this. Good job, Sony.

 

[KalBalboa]

Understandable.

 

[brinstar]

should I look at the comments

 

[cantbebothered]

sucks but understandable

 

[dreamfall]

This is the right call. Good on them for acknowledging that Black Lives Matter with their earlier post, and giving the protests their necessary space before the unveil.

 

[Deleted member 13077]

Absolutely the right move..

 

[Order]

Good

 

[supkid]

It's disappointing it has had to be postponed, I personally thought they could have gone ahead and used their platform to highlight it further.

Edited to add: I mean use their platform to highlight the injustices further, but I'm of the mind that silence feels complicit

 

[SpottieO]

It is the right thing to do.

 

[tutomos]

Respect

 

[Deleted member 864]

Damn. :(

It's understandable though.

 

[Fushichou187]

This was the only right option.

 

[Bowser]

Hoping for next week

 

[Nolbertos]

Yeah probably a smart thing as more people will have there eyes glued to what's happening outside than Sony's event. They can delay there feed till mid-June and repolish it up

 

[DNAbro]

Unfortunate but completely understandable.

 

[Kyoufu]

Fully expected it. It's the right move tbh.

 

[Transistor]

I was personally hoping for an event with a powerful statement of support for the protests at the beginning, but I'm not going to fault them for delaying one bit.

EDIT: This post was made before I realize why they were moving it. Now that I know why they postponed it, I applaud their decision even more and fully expect them to do a statement when they do hold the event.

 

[Lord Fanny]

Clearly the good move, although all those TV ads made me think that there's no way they'd delay it.

Click to shrink...

Most of those were probably edited and sent over to the station a long time before the riots started. Most ads are.

 

[Astronut325]

Respect.

I agree with what is being said.

 

[Watership]

Commendable mood. This is not the right time.

 

[Loud Wrong]

Totally understandable.

 

[The Last One]

Wow, even after the ads. This is shocking.

Maximum respect.

 

[HeartlessNobody2134]

Not surprised and not mad at it.

 

[Razgriz417]

im bummed but this is the right move, even if they just spent a ton on marketing this event on espn

 

[NinjaScooter]

But I was told this was impossible and would make no sense
