Sony Delay PS5 Reveal in Support of Protests

Across social media and other avenues Sony have released the following statement:

"We have decided to postpone the PlayStation 5 event scheduled for June 4. While we understand gamers worldwide are excited to see PS5 games, we do not feel that right now is a time for celebration and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard." 

Sony originally had announced last week a PS5 reveal event for this Thursday the 4th of June, which would have given us the first glance at the games set for Sony's next-gen console. In addition to the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States and the world have seen ongoing protests and riots centring on police brutality following the death of George Floyd.

In the chaotic times we face it is good to see that a company takes a time to set profit aside and allow people to focus on the issues at hand. Perhaps those normally blind to the worlds events, will pay attention to this crisis and give it some thought. 

Things need to change.
