So Corona has become a massive nightmare and worldwide lockdowns. certain industries like shops, travel, hotels, hospitality is hit hard. If the damn crap isn't controlled in next 30 days a long spell of recession and layoffs seems inevitable. Will you buy games or hold on to that dollar uncertain? Does this spell bad news for onl;ine games sales also?

My personal gut feeling? We are at tip of iceburg stage. In a months time either we can assume things will return to normnal or face worldwide casuality in millions. My advice sincere is avoid buying a month wait and watch. The economy will stay down almost 2 years.

I think economies will start to recover once the virus has peaked. But if your scenario comes true, recession > possible depression, your money will only be good for wallpaper anyway.

Coronavirus has been terrible for my gaming time. I mostly just played when the wife wasn't home, but now she's always home = no gaming.

I think the economy and the world governments can go fack themselves. China and its coughfinancierscough for having Coronavirus spread, our government for its decades long tradition of exporting our industry to foreigners who produce and sell to us at their discretion, and that damn GDP that always has to go up regardless of the depressed wages of the people who contribute to it.

I'd guess that most people have a big backlog to go through, and it's a good time to do that. :)

As for solving the problem, I don't think that'd happen soon, and I agree that the economy will suffer greatly. The only thing that I think can be done is to vaccinate people, either by providing a vaccine or naturally (that is, infect those who are less likely to die, let them heal, then free them).
