Think about it
>schools are getting canceled
>public events are getting canceled
>self and/or mandatory quarantine
People will have nothing better to do and will be spending most of the day in their homes. The amount of publicity that could be acquired through such a legendary move.
Steam should have a COVID-19 sale

Would be neat if they themed it around games with 200+ hour playtimes and simulator games that just never end.
Nah because that would give bad public perception and would make them seem like they are taking advantage of a crisis.
I don't like chinese games
I'm curious how they could this without it seeming in bad taste
>covid-19
It's the wuflu.
Why make a sale, they are already cashing in millions from the quarantine
why would they make a sale if people will buy it full price anyway? you said it yourself, people will have nothing better to do.
It's kung-flu.
mask it as spring/easter/st patty's sale
There's a spring event coming May.
you're balding
They have sex
Even if there is a sale, reminder not to buy anything from steam outside of events that have tokens, which is summer, winter and cny.
That's racist, just because it came from wuhan, china doesn't mean you can say it, you're a bigot
You to, you're not being funny your words can hurt people
Too long from now. People will have already found their post-apocalyptic entertainment.
id just like to let you guys know that my 69 year old father and i both had it and he even had pneumonia from it amd we are both fine, if it matters im canadian
there's a sale on civilization shit
>canadian
You should've died
they could use the excuse of supporting the self-quarantine efforts by providing cheaper entertainment or some shit. a decent pr guy could cover even the worst shit in honey and feed it to people.
>canadians are so fucking filthy that even death refuses to touch them
remember to embrace every chinamen you see and to eat exclusively at Chinese immigrant owned restaurants to show solidarity
Shut the fuck up, kung flu is funny.
yeah cus thats what the world know canada for...being filthy....
How bad was it for him?
Where did you catch it?
Traveling?
There's people stuck with nothing to do.
Even pornhub got the message out.
not that bad he was never hospitalized or anything, the worst i saw him was he had tissue jammed in his nostrils
in canada, we live about an hour outside of vancouver
Plus people won't live to claim refunds, they'll make a killing
Frankly they should shut down Steam for the time being. Buying games can massively accelerate the spread of the virus. Multiplayer voice chat is especially dangerous if someone coughs in their mic and infects everyone
How did it happen though? Did anyone try to trace your contacts or you just got it randomly and nobody gave a fuck why?
Two point hospital should do one of those superbug events.
its the chinese wuhan corona virus. libbies will seethe at this.
pornhub did something similar (free premium for italy). I don't think people would assume steam was taking advantage of a crisis by simply reducing the price of games. Just like people wouldn't say Walmart is taking advantage of a crisis by reducing the price of toilet paper
youre right, how could I forget
just caught it like any other flu, nobody gave a fuck because it was before all this media hype bs, i dont think they even had a name for it when we had it
People in England have been reporting that it's overblown nonsense as well. One dude said the worst thing about it was the hospital wouldn't let him leave so he was bored as fuck.
shut the fuck up, you stupid fucking leaf, i hope you'll get fucked by a moose.
whenever i think of canada, i see a bastard child of the two countries that never should've spawned anything together, an abominable wasteland with nothing but snow, commies, the french and a moose or some shit every now and then.
god i hate canada so fucking much.
The worst part is being tested, you're just waiting for the results and the all clear.
>less than 100 cases in my country
>the first guy who made a "full recovery" could barely tell what the sympthoms are
Yet the whole world needs to shut down for it. Shit's retarded lads it really is.
Did they tell you anything about whether you're immune now?
I can understand why people with a lot of aging population need to do it because they are in the risk group and can get the medical system overwhelmed.
But i feel like all their focus should be on helping them to self-isolate because for the rest of population this shit is nothing.
They have too many sales as it is. When there was only one or two sales a year we used to see way bigger discounts.
They won't because they suck off China
i dont think it works like that user
Reminder that there are at least two strains. One of the strains was super deadly and virulent and was responsible for curbstomping Wuhan in the early days of the outbreak. It later mutated into a more milder strain that's harder to catch, but most of the people "recovered" from the virus caught, where it's just like a bad flu. If you do end up catching one of these, hope it's easy mode Wuflu and not nightmare mode.
Wu-Han Flu aint nuthin to fuck wit
I wonder why they never took it seriously about virus could spread through voice chat...I even didn't use TV this month to prevent the virus from spreading through...be safe everyone
Nobody:
Nobody at all:
Not one single soul:
SARS-CoV-2: ok boomer
At this point it's most likely impossible to get infected by strains imported directly from China given that their epidemic is almost over
You're getting milder versions that circulate over Europe repeatedly, and if swine flu is any indication, the virus will only get weaker.
>your words can hurt people
I think the chinkoid virus is the thing hurting people
>im canadian
Get out.
So nobody is saying nothing? What does that even mean?
They're just about to lockdown my country bros ;_;
bullshit fear mongering, there is onlynone strain stop listening to Yas Forums
everyone is saying everything
Can you fuck off? It's not funny to shitpost and pretend to be offended by things
They could only get away with that if they give profit to charity, which Valve ain't fucking doing.

>fear mongering
>when the evidence suggests that the mutations are making the virus weaker not stronger
Why would you lie?
Not him but
>go to Yas Forums because genuinely interested to learn anything about the current situation
>nothing but HAPPENING shitposting
>all "information" has no sources and anyone questioning it or asking for sources is shitposted into oblivion
At the very least it reminded me why I never lurk there.
Where do you think you are?
No one gives a shit, the Chinese are a backwards people who eat dogs and run over children in the street and don't stop to help.
My friend in Texas broke his leg and a Chinese woman was the first person he asked for help, she saw it and just ran off in a panic leaving him by himself without getting help.
I had a pretty bad cold over the winter. Very dry and sinusy with headaches and a cough. Some mild nausea feeling.
I wonder if its been in the UK for months and cases are only identified because people know how to test for it very recently.
After all the NHS GPs are infamous for dismissing any kind of illness as a cold or flu so you don't come in to get assessed.
I just think its been here for ages because we have three airports in London and trains to anywhere within 200 miles from there. My town has it in the hospital apparently.
I work retail on the checkouts and I deal with sick people and their filthy money all the time.
Yas Forums hasn't been a place to learn anything about any current situation in years. It became a hive of conspiracy 'tards the moment people found out, whether true or not, that Yas Forums got a US president elected. So now everyone's dropping their bullshit there hoping the users will use their autism to further their own agendas.
