How many studies have been done where they always end up saying this? Why does this keep getting brought up?pic.twitter.com/yd9m8jds9D
Enough respect to cancel an event, but not enough to ban guns and actually save people.
What a ridiculous decision that has nothing to do with showing respect for anything. I guarantee ABC has not reevaluated programming on any of their other content. It's a video game competition for crying out loud.
I agree Balla, this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. What an unfortunate event for all those pro Apex players and orgs! The gaming community needs to stand together and fight these false attack against our jobs, hobby, sport, etc! Gaming is not to blame!
Rly sticking with the blaming video games bs...
Its not blaming video games. Its just out of respect like they say. It really wouldnt be a cool move to show virtual guns just shortly after such an incident. Like slasher posted, they will broadcast it at a later point.
