[New Yorks Finest]

The more we all work together, the easier getting through this is going to be.

Heartening news.

 

[Hostile_18]

Nice to have some good news at the moment.

[Pallas]

Nice, glad big corporations are stepping up to this.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Good to see such actions, makes me happy. Good guy Sony

 

[jts]

Well done Sony.

Now Microsoft please donate $120M.

 

[nowhat]

Please people - no need to turn this into a console warrior dick measuring contest. I think this is just a Good Thing™. If other companies do similar things, that is a Good Thing™ too. These are trying times for us all, it'd be nice just to take good news at face value for a change.

 

[Virex]

Is Sony donating $100 million or a variable amount up to $100 million?

 

[Psykodad]

This is why I support Sony. They show they care.

[squidilix]

Wow, big difference than Nintendo and the 9 500 mask they fund.

 

[phil_t98]

Both Sony and Microsoft are donating a lot towards this, good on both companies

 

[Elder Legend]

Well done Sony.

Now Microsoft please donate $120M.

Bill Gates and His Wife did donate 100 million, technically microsoft.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Sony, I'm in quarantine right now and I have no food. Please send 5 million dollars so that I can survive this unspeakable horror taking place before me. Thank you.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Well done Sony.

Now Microsoft please donate $120M.

I literally just had coffee running out of my nose while laughing.
Good job, sir.

Microsoft may be able to donated $120 million. But Sony can transfer the $100 million a lot faster

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

Nice gesture, not sure what is has to do with gaming.

Are we soon gonna be able to install that folding@home thing on our PS4 to help find a COVID-19 vaccine????

True.

Hum, no. That was in the name of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Whilst I'm sure MS will, or most likely already have donated something, it will come out of MS' funds and be in their name. Much like if you give to charity, the company you work for can't claim it was from them.

 

[Shin]

Microsoft please donate $120M.

They've doing their fair share, just doesn't get much traction here for obvious reasons.
There's a thread though, same with Apple, don't know if Google has done anything yet.

No dumbass, I'm stating facts.
There is a thread about their efforts on GAF and it didn't get as much traction.
I brought it up because of the person I quoted mentioned them - duh!

 

[sircaw]

Fantastic from Sony and before Microsoft too , super ultra fast ssd in motion.

Jokes aside, its fantastic, hope more corporations follow.

Good job on taking a joke seriously. Imagine taking every post as fanboy warring..

 

[FranXico]

Everybody helps! Good news.

 

[FranXico]

Well done Sony.

Now Microsoft please donate $120M.

MS are helping build fast diagnosis systems iirc. Everybody is helping!

Edit : I missed the joke, but still, let's stay positive.

 

[Shin]

fanboy

It probably has to do that you're the one that wrote it.
Your nonsense aside and back to what I said, there are a handful of COVID-19 threads, but some seem more interested in games.
Or when the consoles will launch, whether they'll be pushed back, etc etc. instead of what's going on in the world ATM.
Shocking revelation, right?

The gift that keeps on giving

Says more about you if you think my posts in here were serious.

Lighten up, bruh, it's just Gaf.

 

[Shin]

Says more about you

Your last 3 posts had nothing to do with this topic, if you're not interest in what's being discussed then perhaps refrain from posting?
I think you're confusing me with your reflection, because here we are discussing a serious matter and you're acting like a clown and making stupid jokes.

Cry more.

I jokingly commended Sony for donating money and did so for MS as well.

Not my problem if you take offense to that.

 

[TLZ]

Is Sony donating $100 million or a variable amount up to $100 million?

It's 92 mil. May be boosted to 100 mil.

 

[Shin]

Cry more.

We're discussing a relief fund, people are dying daily around the world but you find it amusing to act like a imbecile.
That's not crying, that's me attending you to your stupid behavior and telling you to stop as it's not a joking matter.
There's a time and place for everything, this ain't it - it is not hard to understand, well perhaps your case it is.

 

[Ellery]

That is awesome and I am glad they are doing that and others should follow given that gamers spend a lot of money right now given other external activities are on a hold so they have more for gaming.
I hope Microsoft and Nintendo do the same. They could do a sale where % of the sales are donated

 

[Whitecrow]

Sony doesnt pr talk. They act.

 

[Tesseract]

gobble it up, monkeys

 

[Birdo]

10 million U.S. dollars of the fund will be devoted first to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for WHO

Great. Give 10 milion dollars to the pricks that lied about how contagious it was.

Who are you to decide what is the right time for a more lighthearted reply?

All I'm saying is that it's good to see major companies donating money, with all the billions they make.
Time to give back to the people.

Obviously it's good that any company does it, but if my posts offend you, maybe you should move over to Era.

 

[CuNi]

I'm glad companies are trying to somewhat help, but we should all also not forget that not only can they get some of this cash back from tax relief for donating money to charities but it's also good PR too!
Not saying they shouldn't be doing it. Honestly, I see it as a win for everybody. Company gets good PR and some cash back and the world get's some well needed funds.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Bill Gates is now completely disassociated with Microsoft.

 

[Enjay]

Take notes rockstar, there's a proper way to try and buy your good press via donations to a cause.

Microsoft donates $1 million to Puget Sound’s COVID-19 Response Fund - Microsoft On the Issues

Microsoft is making a $1 million donation to help address economic disparities caused by the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, partnering with Amazon and Starbucks to launch a regional COVID-19 Response Fund.

Come on Microsoft!

For those wanting to bash MS for not giving 'enough' so far, remember they're not laying off any of their 120K FTE or 100K contractors during this time. That's a big deal.
