> We look forward to bringing you E3 2021 as a reimagined event that brings fans, media, and the industry together in a showcase that celebrates the global video game industry.

Looks like the entire tech and game industries have put the future on hold for a year and a half.

Meanwhile, I suspect that Hollywood directors are scripting a COVID-19 film for box office success...

As long as animal crossing still come out on time, we can give up on the real world and just permanently live in the digital one.

If I were a streamer, I'd be extremely excited about the potential to get more viewers from people stuck at home.

As long as ISPs don't get caught with an unplanned capacity crunch.

It'd be like Snow Crash and Ready Player One in real life.

Have you seen the Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing memes? They crack me up. Same release day, so the Doom community started saying they just wanted Animal Crossing as a half-joke, and it escalated from there.

I love it. Especially the video with Isabelle walking into gamestop and buying doom eternal while the doomguy buys animal crossing.

I honestly think that this will be the death blow for E3 as a whole. It's been on the decline for many years, with multiple publishers having already pulled out in recent years. Simple truth is that it's outgrown what it used to be: a convention for tradespeople.

Yet the Smurf festival in Lombardy lives on https://twitter.com/chamILYAn/status/1237397658773286913?s=2...

As for the movie I think Contagion 2

Fake news with really bad taste given the current situation in Lombardy.

...why not just link the YouTube video? I don't get what the twitter link adds.

FYI the festival was in France.

Smurf festival in Landerneau, France. Not Lombardy.
