Nice thing about SE, they can always jump onto someone's conference and show off their stuff, if they don't just want to post a youtube video.

Not just SE but everyone should cancel anything upto June. Because we don't know what is set out to happen. And in context of corona, I think nobody needs a new game when there is a crisis going on.

I think at this point everything has been canceled, well everything but the Olympics.

I am sure even the olympics will be postponed too. The way things are going on around the world. It'd be possible that things may not be good. So yeah most of the public stuff needs to be reduced as much as possible.

They really can't, millions of money has been put into it, the people that are going to play in it spent 4 or more years getting ready. To call it off would be just as devastating as in having it.

Money is put into it but risking the life of the sports people and also the people who maintained the event. Not worth it in the long run to be honest.
