Electronic Arts had planned to today announce Madden NFL 21, the latest annual sequel in their American football series. But in light of the protests, unrest, and violence in America right now after Minneapolis police killed unarmed Black man George Floyd, it didn’t seem the time. “Our immediate attention is on actions we can take to drive change against the unjust treatment and systemic bias that is plaguing the nation and our world,” EA Sports said in a surprising statement.
Update: PlayStation have done much the same for their June 4th event, saying “we do not feel that right now is a time for celebration and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard.”
