Because of the coronavirus, read from siliconera:
Taipei Game Show 2020, originally set to be held between February 6-9, 2020, has been postponed to Summer 2020 in light of the Wuhan coronavirus that has been declared a global health emergency by WHO as of January 31, 2020. With mainland China and the surrounding areas, like Hong Kong and Taiwan, on high alert, it’s a safe decision born out of necessity and bad timing.
On January 30, 2020, Taipei Game Show host Taipei Computer Association released a statement that the show would go on as planned, but with additional safety precautions like temperature checks and facemasks distributed to all attendees. However, today publishers like Justdan Entertainment, beanfun, and WANIN Games cancelled their showings at the expo. It was likely the straw that broke the camel’s back in regards to Taipei Game Show’s postponement, alongside the WHO announcement.
