GDC 2020 and Facebook’s F8 cancelled over coronavirus threat

Both Facebook's annual developer conference F8 and Game Developer's Conference have been cancelled with the latter being indefinitely postponed. Sony, Microsoft and Epic had pulled out earlier from GDC 2020, prompting the organisers to indefinitely postpone the annual event.

Facebook however stated that the "in-person component" of the event has been cancelled but there may still be a web-presentation and live video for the conference. It was only just a couple of weeks ago that Mobile World Congress 2020 was cancelled over coronavirus concerns.
