"Out of concern for the health and safety of our employees, our dev partners, and the GDC community, Facebook will not be attending this year's Game Developers Conference due to the evolving public health risks related to COVID-19," a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement. A Sony spokesperson said the company was prioritizing safety concerns as countries enact travel restrictions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The company had previously announced that it would not participate in PAX East, a Boston-based gaming event running from from February 27 to March 1, over similar fears.
