“PC Gamer” officially made an announcement that their upcoming online event, the “PC Gaming Show”, has been postponed until June 13th. This Gaming related show was originally scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 6th as part of IGN’s “Summer of Gaming” event. But PC Gamer has decided to postpone this upcoming event as a show of support for the ongoing protests going in the United States over the “Black Lives Matter” movement.
Sony’s PlayStation 5 Reveal event was also postponed for this exact same reason.
This message makes it clear as to what PC Gamer’s stance is on this issue, “Right now, we want to make space for those speaking out and demonstrating about how to end the systemic oppression and police brutality experienced by black people”.
Apart from this event, the GamesRadar’s Future Games Show and the Guerrilla Collective are also being moved to a later date this month of June. Few other Game developers and companies who have shown support include Infinity Ward, Epic Games, Rockstar Games, CD Projekt RED, and IGN.
The “PC Gaming Show” should be worth the wait though, having an E3 type of atmosphere in my opinion. We can expect some new gameplay footage, fresh announcements and news from game developers.
The combined efforts of the Future Games Show and the Guerrilla Collective will make this event even more exciting to some extent. The “PC Gaming Show” will now take place on Saturday, June 13, 2020.
Hello, my name is NICK Richardson. I’m an avid PC and tech fan since the good old days of RIVA TNT2, and 3DFX interactive “Voodoo” gaming cards. I love playing mostly First-person shooters, and I’m a die-hard fan of this FPS genre, since the good ‘old Doom and Wolfenstein days.
MUSIC has always been my passion/roots, but I started gaming “casually” when I was young on Nvidia’s GeForce3 series of cards. I’m by no means an avid or a hardcore gamer though, but I just love stuff related to the PC, Games, and technology in general. I’ve been involved with many indie Metal bands worldwide, and have helped them promote their albums in record labels. I’m a very broad-minded down to earth guy. MUSIC is my inner expression, and soul.

A week? That just makes this seem like a publicity stunt.
Which is exactly what it is.
The problem is, once a company does it, everyone else has to do it or risk looking bad in front of the judging, idiot masses. They’re probably as annoyed as you and me but it’s either climbing aboard the retarded train or deal with the backlash
They are virtual signaling towards people that doesn’t care about their products, for the most part. It’s just another sign of the horrific and hurtful political correctness in this globalist society.
Excellent point. That pretty aptly sums up a lot of what these companies are doing.
Especially because even questioning the merits of a pointless action like this brands you as pro-*the thing being protested*.
So you have no choice but to follow along.
don’t blame them if anything blame american media.. simple example valve delayed their event to next week but didnt make any statement. eurogamer made article saying valve didn’t release statement regarding BLM like that gesture of delaying is not stand against racism they need more from companies. hell they might even trying mildly to direct anger towards them..this is why even s**** companies like activisionblizzard/disney made generic statement to avoid any pr disaster or take flak..
They probably didn’t receive every trailer from the different studios and they’re using the BLM “protests” as a diversion.
Shut the hell up man !
go check oneangrygamer’s website, it’s useless telling these people to shut up, they have worms in their brains. their leader called “billy” was a laughing stock for multiple days on twitter and was bullied to death, i kind of felt bad for that idiot despite being a compete jacka*s.
OAG has been DDOSed for several days now because of that article, so it’s not worth it.
it doesn’t worth it to visit that website for any reason.
not even for trolling?
no, you’re too sensitive, it’s too easy.
really on oag?
yes
anyone who isnt a left winger is a laughing stock on twitter. Welcome to twitter, when being a boomer is not being a leftist loon, at the same time posts saying that white people are awful get 500k likes.
aren’t you indian? why do you care about blacks or whites?
if you’re offended by my question then grow a pair you sensitive leftie.
useless comment.
you’re a midget to me you welfare living bald shet.
Oh yeah really ? Go get a life outside you stupid s**ist C.*.N.T..
You have anger issues, which person here touched you in your nono parts?
how is he wrong?
you sound like a person with a healthy brain who totally doesn’t suffer from a mental illness sir.
But what if the riots continue next week? What if they even get worse? What then?
I’m sure the next time a mother in the hood is crying over the body of her child killed as a bystander of gang violence, she’ll be very appreciative that PC Gamer showed their support by delaying their video game show 1 week.
I dunno about that, but there’s a clear bias towards an ideology…and that sucks for everyone on a democratic system.
who really cares about PC Show, they come every year embarass themselves show some stupid games trailers, and spend half the show to ads and chating with devs
it’s that weird cousin that you avoid in E3
Are they sponsored by Epic games this year?
Sooner or later it will say, “… Coming To PS, Xbox, Switch & Epic.

Remember to always use Ad Block when visiting PC Gamer so “to end the systemic oppression” of PC Gamer.
Every time a company postpones theSe events a black person “gets saved from”…i dunno, but it helps them right? No? so this is just a PR movement? well, they can fuc* off then.

“ah damn hoped to see all the gaming shows this week, so i guess i have nothing else to do back to looting” – An American.
At least I understand that Sony delayed their event since their target audience is the one that is burning down every shop, but PCGamer? Really?
yes pc gamer stands for politically correct gamer now.
“the Guerrilla Collective”
sounds commie as fck.
So, according to big companies, current protests should be trendy for about 5-7 days more.
