 Growing concerns over the coronavirus has impacted many industries, which now includes gamers. PAX East, an annual gaming convention held in Boston, took extra sanitation precautions to comfort worried attendees, which did not go unnoticed. I'm happy that the convention center has been doing a lot of work with health stuff. I mean, every single escalator has hand sanitizer. Every time you go to an escalator, they're wiping down the handrails. Attendees were rattled when Sony, the creator of the PlayStation, canceled their appearance a week before the convention. This did not stop Alex Storey from traveling from Minnesota to attend his fourth PAX. I wasn't too upset, but I know the people that I was traveling with were pretty upset, or at least saddened by it. Shortly after, several other big names, including Square Enix, maker of the popular game franchise Final Fantasy, announced changes to their plans as well. Local developers, however, were less deterred. This coming's founder of Broken Archer was not going to miss his third PAX convention. We're not worried even a little bit of it, spring to us, or even really a lot of people coming for that, because of the due diligence people have been taking lately. Despite optimism from attendees, game developers are still hesitant to travel. The Game Development Conference, which was scheduled to take place from March 15th through the 20th, has been postponed until late this summer. Reporting from Boston for BUTV10, I'm Paige Colley.
