GDC 2020 “indefinitely postponed” after losing Microsoft, Sony, Epic to coronavirus

[ENTERPRISE]

For all its antivirus protection, the tech world is coming to a realization that it’s no match for deadly biological viruses.

It's about time. Initially they were going to proceed even after some of the big names pulled out. In all honesty it should not have taken big names to pull out to cancel the event. The obvious responsible thing to do in order to prevent possible spread of an easily transmitted virus is not to have thousands of people crammed into a small space. Common sense 101.
