Several videogame announcements and releases are getting delayed

I am pretty confident that ps5 and xbone 2 are not going to release in 2020 anymore

On the plus side, pornhub premium is free till end of april.

this. why NOT advertise to people with nothing better to do than sit and scroll media all day in quarantine?

Yes

Reminds me of the time movie about an earthquake aired and all the commercials were about earthquake insurance.

I guess props to the game companies for not biting the hook.

...

Pornhub gave out free premium directly because of the corona and the only thing that happened was that they had a sharp increase in Italian and Spanish users. The site has never been more popular than it is now.

Nobody gives a shit about associating a product with the virus.

Nintendo is in no rush to announce new shit, Animal Crossing has sold gazillions

Nindies and nintendo direct arent the same, especially in scale. Indie developers need to get the word out, unless they risk termination. nintendo can chill in that regard

>Pornhub gave out free premium directly because of the corona
I’m more shocked that people are paying for porn

This is the most retarded shit I've ever heard

Nintendo has never been in a rush to do anything.

Pornhub sucks now, too many use it as a social site to promote their onlyfans.

>Welp

That Venturebeats guy is double dipping on an announcement today

But the investors meetings, they’ll be mad if they don’t see new games...

When you consider the primary audience for video games is also the primary demographic bitching about everything on Twitter, it makes sense. Keep your head down, provide the people with your product, and celebrate in silence that you're profiting off a global pandemic.

That's why ppl shouldn't expect a Direct anytime soon

They just got Animal Crossing

Companies aren't advertising because of the current state of the global economy, nobody knows what the fuck is going to happen in the next 6 months, and no one if going to invest/waste money until thins get stable again.
Companies don't care being "respectful".

>Question Leaker

>Get Banned

Even late announcement time has passed. He's clearly a retard.

I'm giving Nintendo until 4:00pm because that's when they announced the Animal Crossing Direct.

There's a very large global excuse happening right now.

people are careful these days. your post immediately makes me think of what ice pick lodge (makers of pathologic, a game about a literal plague) said recently when asked if sales went up recently
>of course, to hype on someone else’s fear and grief is a bad thing, and we are not going to take any steps for this. I even feel a bit of an inexplicable guilt

pornhub gives free premium every single holiday and special event, like how prime gives a free month anytime; to getpeople who forget to cancel. not to mention the porn industry is wholly unique, corona-themed porn saw a huge rise and nobody bats an eye because it's just lolporn.

>Delaying announcements when literally everyone is sitting at their computer or console as we speak

Sounds like bullshit

You're literally referring to sleaze peddlers, obviously THEY don't care about being associated with the virus, just like they don't care about being associated with a wide variety of degenerate material.

>Sorry investors, can't have the meeting for safety reasons lol

Really hoping I can still come back to campus this fall for classes.

I'm interested in seeing what will happen if the next set of consoles are delayed since I feel like a fair amount of publishers are planning to announce games alongside those consoles which means this Fall/Winter could be an absolute wasteland in terms of new releases if the consoles are delayed

I've got a backlog, I don't give a fuck. Get off this board and play some god damn video games.

>inb4 he said while posting on Yas Forums

True, thats what nintendo did 2 years ago with those earthquakes.

HOWEVER, nintendo at least had the decency to tell people that the direct was cancelled because of the quakes. the fact that nintendo hasnt said ANYTHING about the virus AND still announcing shit on twitter as well as releasing that indie world video last week, is not only confusing, but actually infuriating!

Do they care about the virus victims or not? And if they can release all those other videos, whats stopping them to release the direct or an statement explaining their reasoning?

>corona-themed porn

>people are careful these days.
user the government had to shut places down and tell people to stay home. They’re not careful.

Yeah sure, I call total bullshit, no company would ever look at free money and be like "Nahhh I gotta be respectful".
like you people are aware that Nintendo and most Japanese/Korean companies outsource their production to child sweatshops in Asia, right? Don't fucking pretend these people suddenly gained morals or care about PR

It seems likely that a Direct was about to drop but has been postponed. Having said that, I imagine they might just fix up said direct with lots of vague release windows instead of being as specific as they had originally planned and drop that Direct sooner than you might expect. Like I can see that version of the Direct dropping within the next week.

>infuriating
lmao go play some games you fuckin loser. why are you so butthurt about not being advertised to?

Wasn't the Direct that was cancelled from the earthquakes already announced? That would be why, retard. There's no need to announce the cancellation of an event no one knew about.

They obviously do care about PR, they just turn the same blind eye to those sweatshops that every other business does while still doing their best to come across as a positive and forward thinking company in other areas.

It's more about looking the part for the customer. The only people affected by out-of-sight-out-of-mind Asian sweatshops are the Asian children, an insensitive marketing campaign is seen by everyone.

>Animal Crossing and DOOM sell right in the middle of it and sell gangbusters
>but they won't be announcing anything that will release in several months when the virus will die down because that would be capitalising on tragedy :^)

Literally no one gives a shit about animal crap though. There are NO fucking excuses for silence.

absolutely THIS.

This is like being a Nintendo fan and not liking Mario games, like yeah you exist but you're a fucking outlier.

Yeah virus has fucked things up, expect up to a years delay if not more on some games.

Perhaps they don’t need an excuse and simply want you to buy what’s already out there, my precious consoomer

On the other hand, it's been almost 7 months since the last direct, and the only game announced in that timespan was a remake of PMD. It's blatantly obvious at this point that either Nintendo are retarded or there's been some sort of Pizdec, and because they refuse to say anything we're left to assume the former.

vidya is cancelled

Indie shit are digital are small titles, Animal Crossing Direct was shown before crown chan started the outbreak in the world

Animal Crossing is not as big as Mario. Sales would be halved if it wasn't for Corona.

>Literally no one gives a shit about animal crap though.

Yeah. Just you and the 5 other falseflagging snoys.

>I-IT DOESNT COUNT BECAUSE *checks notes* uh... CORONA!

On any platform it's released on, Animal Crossing has sold the most copies at launch. It was only topped by Pokemon on 3DS.

And why are you so butthurt about people who paid for the right to complain when their provider blatantly wrongs us? Specially when this MO doesnt even make sense in these times.

By that logic, the AC direct and the indie world shouldnt have happened, or the tweets (specially the prinny collection one, a completely unexpected game who would definitely cause A LOT of talk in a direct), or the launch of AC itself!

Nintendo is clearly delaying things since they are still promoting and selling stuff thru twitter and those videos and yet they havent bothered to just answer a simple and perfectly valid question.

You cant say nintendo really has nothing given all the things they have announced thru social media.

I guess everybody is waiting until June.

AC sold over 2.5 million in its first three days in Japan

How much Pokemon sold?

no, advertising campaigns only. It says so on your picture.

Nintendo franchises across the board have seen tremendous sales leaps on Switch, you're kidding yourself if you think the wouldn't happen for Animal Crossing.

wouldn't it be extremely trivial to instead of seeming like you're trying to capitalize on it make it seem like you're encouraging people to stay indoors and enjoy these new products which puts you in a good light from a PR point.
