GamesRadar has made the difficult decision to postpone its Future Games Show to Saturday 13th June 2020 in support of the Black Lives Matter protests currently taking place across the US and Europe. Originally scheduled for this coming weekend, the website wants more important voices to be heard during these testing and troubling times.
Daniel Dawkins, content director of games and film at GamesRadar, said: "While we're all excited to bring you our first Future Games Show, we feel it's important to leave space for more important conversations right now. This is a time for our industry to stand together with the Black Lives Matter movement, and we're proud to do so." The Future Games Show will play host to reveals, deep dives into upcoming titles, and developer interviews. PlayStation 5 game Quantum Error will be in attendance with a gameplay preview.

Really the difficult decision , because everyone else is postponing their events is not reason enough
Thats cool.public enemy fight the power.word life.word is bond.word to your mother.word ☝ up son
just utterly bizarre vapid decisions, next we will hear that Hugh Grant is delaying the release of his new fitness dvd for 48 hours to show support
Not surprising. These are tumultuous times, and I really can't complain much.
Postponing events because some idiots are rioting is total nonsense. World is really upside down.
Yeah, let's postpone everything until America gets its ***** together and racism is eradicated across the globe.
🙄
The US really is a basket case of a country and truly does mess up things for the rest of the world.
Game events are mainly informational. It is not like you are throwing a party to celebrate something. A low-key event where you can take also several moment to reflect on the ongoing situation will do.
@mini_piekarnik ok hold up.
You mean I can get a body like Hugh.... FROM A DVD?!?!?
@Johnnycide definitely, use it as a beer mat
@Mikey856 and where have you got this information from? , Your denial and belittling of this situation is truly appalling
Something tells me nobody would give a crap if it was a straight white guy who died. The world is really racist and heterophobic.
@Darth_Stofi they are probably using "support" as an excuse. I'm pretty sure they just want to avoid loosing a lot of audience because of the current media coverage.
@Col_McCafferty I agree 1000% this is a global event and to delay the Future Games event shows little regard for the rest of the planet!!! Show how self centered we Americans are, delaying something the globe wants because of our "political correctness"!
Calculated decisions made to avoid backlash. Individuals may support or oppose the cause - corporations only seek profit. They are machines and workers are replaceable cogs.
@Lifestranding the statistics are all online. Don’t be lazy get the facts .
Stop spouting rubbish, when have you seen a black man with his knee on a white males neck for 9 flipping minutes!!, Of course crime happens everyday but let's turn a blind and try to understand other people's plight and POV can go along way.
