Japanese publishers cancel, delay games after quake

Who the hell keeps giving thumbs-downs to the people who are saying they hope Japan is okay? Whoever is doing that, did you not hear what Japan is going through right now? THEY HAD A FRIGGIN' EARTHQUAKE!!! ... Sorry, people like that really piss me off.

thank god nintendo wasnt effected

@GunBladeHero, I dont think is the end of the world, but we must remember and know about Scalar weapows, they can move the nature, they say that Haiti was made as a test for other similar eletromagnetic weapown called Haarp, a less powerfull than Scalar ones, that for coincidence China have.

i wish my best to japan right now, dont need games at the moment, thank you.

Video games are about the last thing the Japanese people need to worry about right now. Hope they recover soon.

Final Fantasy XIV needed to be shut down before it was out of beta.

Hope Japan recovery soon from this tragedy. Games are secondary for now, by the way, a Yakuza game with zombies? For me this one can be delayed for ever.

Is there someone complaining??Of course games r delayed.We don't need entertainment right now. All efforts towards survival....

I grown pretty fond of that country over the years. Through anime and video games I gained an appreciation for the culture. It's hard for me to watch the videos and hear the stories coming out of Japan after the quake, and I'm a pretty heartless bastard. I've never donated to anything before, but I will to help out in any way I can. Prayer is not enough.

I will pray for Japan to be protected Inshallah. But i think it is not good to joke about these disasters even after many years or decades. Death is not something funny, and as for the delays i dont care because saving peoples lives is much more important than games.

Japan will make it threw this. Though it wouldnt hurt for everyone to help Japan recover (everyone who has the ability).

Japan will rise again !...but there are much more important things than the games right now...pray for people to be saved !!!

As soon as I heard about the quake I started to wonder when this news would come. My thoughts are with those affected and I don't believe there would be too many callous enough to be upset about a delay of game or temporarily offline when so many people have lost everything and everyone they loved. I continue to wish for a quick recovery for the people of Japan and everywhere else this disaster has reached.

I have faith in Japan.

Terrible, terrible destruction and tragedy. My thoughts have been and continue to be with those who lost family members... homes... all their possessions... their businesses. In my 37 years, I'm not sure I've ever seen something so tragic on such a large level. Even "getting back to business" is the least of most of their concerns right now. Most are just looking for a meal and warmth.

It's sad, but Japan will overcome this crisis, just like they did overcome the WW2 crisis.

as long as the government gives a 110% on providing support, japan will rise once again

Well the earthquake is over but the worst part may yet come... I just hope they avoid the radiation... Nothing more I can do for them.

life is more important than data. we can wait. prayers and hopes to all.

They are making bowls , chopstics and cups out of bamboo. Great people. If that was America we would be using plastic cups , with plastic spoons. Never knew that they would take this so calmly. In the U.S you would see on the news crying , but the Japanese are taking it like it is another day. Bless the Japanese.

This is only temporary. Japan Is a strong country with strong people. Our best hope goes with then although me know they will overcome this moments of pain. Nihon Ganbaré!

Maybe I'm being a little insensitive and I just want to make clear that I am very sympathetic to those that have suffered in Japan but is it really necessary to go as far as to cancel games that feature natural disasters? I understand perhaps delaying them out of respect but the fact is earthquakes are something people have to live with, Japan is going to suffer again in the future and the Japanese all know it. I really don't see how fictional piece of media is going to upset anyone that badly.

Obviously the japanese side of all media forms would be affected by this and rightly so. Games and entertainment should be the last thing on the japanese people's minds. I do sincerely hope that they can recover for this and my heart goes out to those who lost people dear to them and for those people who probably now feel scared, confused, and lost.

My prayers will be going out to japan, who cares if the games get delayed, there's many things more important than videogames.

It's hard, but we must have a little more patience (for Japan).

The land of the Rising Sun will never go down, big pray for Japan to overcome the difficulties!

Suprised anyone?

God yeah those selfish people who are putting their friends, family's and country before the needs of Western Gamers... How dare they try to conserve power and take time off their jobs to help a country in crisis. @ all who complain "Sigh"

Oh god who cares about games now! more than 11 thousands people r dead in Japan and some cities are completely destroyed :( I'm really very Sad and i pray they can get over it and stand again soon.

Here's to a speedy recovery for Japan! Hope they come out of this an even stronger nation than before.

SCREW THAT. when a country was hit like japan, i dont care what is delayed. the people comes first. every effort should be made to try help those in need. many people are still missing and being washed up onto shore. damn me to hell the day i think games are more important then human lives. bests wishes to japan and hoping for the best, because right now, it is looking very grim right now.

@GunBladeHero "Nobody believes me when I say the World is ending" Perhaps a message board on a gaming website isn't the place for a prophet, I find they get more credit and recognition by shouting out on street corners.

I really feel sorry for the Japanese people that were victims. Just hope eeverything settles there.

I feel sorry for them, but they're strong they'll rise once again !!!

also i want to say that japan is a great country with great people in every single way , i watched a documentary on the people of japan and how they live it was a one hour documentary that was showed everyday for a whole month , the people there are great and i can safely say that japan is the most developed and wonderful country in the world , it makes you wonder why don't other countries follow their footsteps , i just feel bad for the japanese people and i wish them the best.

I really feel bad for the entire country of Japan and anyone living there, having to go through such a terrible natural disaster. As far as delays and cancellations, its really a non-issue to me. Everyone needs to focus on saving lives there and rebuilding. It makes you realize not to take life for granted. It could not imagine what some people are going through there.

i love japan nation! lets pray to god to save japan. every single body at japan be brave and dont give up! we love japan people!

Man I feel so bad for Japan... Must be horrifying. Earthquakes leading to volcanoes leading to nuclear explosions possibly leading to Fallout...

To loose your home is one thing, but most of the japanese have lost there entire neighbourhood! I can't imagine how horrible that must be! I truly feel sorry for them over there and really hope they can recover as soon as possible.

I wish that the earthquake hit just under the building of activision instead of japan.

Konami to shut off it's servers to conserve power for Japan. Thats true national identity there. Doing something for the good of their country. I hope they recover soon and manage to put this all as far behind them as they possible can. God bless Japan.
