This is a direct quote from the Playstation Twitter account.
"While we understand gamers worldwide are excited to see PS5 games, we do not feel that right now is the time for celebration and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard."
It's not that the Twitter guy is looting, so he is too busy to tweet. This was a clear directive from higher up to allow the focus of attention on a serious issue. The only negative is that many companies or people in power are jumping on the bandwagon for selfish reasons in order to improve their own image.
I may be a white guy who has cop family members, but I'm not blind. Police brutality is real. People of color are discriminated against. It doesn't take much effort to find dozens of videos of white police officers beating the hell out of peaceful protestors and journalists. Police officers are not above the law and need to be held accountable for their actions. They shouldn't get off with a slap on the wrist and a paid vacation for blatant abuse of power. Change needs to happen. Enough is enough.
I honestly can't believe anyone would have the audacity to whine about a lack of information about a video game because a company is attempting to show solidarity with a downtrodden group of people. It's [censored] embarrassing, and you should all be better than that.
Lol take your white guilt somewhere else. If they want to cut back in a time for "more important voices to be heard" then they should start with their stub sales and flash packs. Wait, that's about money though. Got it, loud and clear!
Ummm the selling of the ps5 is about money as well...so your statement really doesn't make sense.
PS5 doesn't go on sale for another four or five months they will have plenty of time to market that and everybody in the world is waiting for that to drop. Stub sales and flash packs are right now during this entire sh!tshow. there's literally no comparison as usual you are just trolling. Please no more selfies. We have seen enough.
Wasn't a troll at all...the selfie attempt at a dig is really dumb it was 2 years ago move on

Meh.
People who use Twitter for sports and game related information aren't bothering to follow anything protest or political wise.
Most of them are not going to simply start scrolling through the trending page and looking at protest stuff because there's no updates from Sony.
I can see it though for people who are politically minded and also may be participating in the protest.

Did you seriously just claim that people who follow sports and video games don't care about the protests? I hope none of them follow Tim Anderson or Lucas Giolito. They might see something posted that they don't care about.
Maybe you don't care, but that is a ridiculous generalization.
It's funny. I never thought that supporting people who are being beaten and murdered in public would be a "hot take". I guess protesting or supporting those protesting is fine as long as it doesn't interfere with info on the latest diamond dynasty cards. Gotta know what new shiny card you're going to be lining out with ASAP.
Meh.

I completely support the issues going on, but I am just curious when sony thinks it will be an appropriate time to break the social media silence. I'm not asking them to, but genuinely wonder how you would make this determination?

Maybe they could tell the content creators to reveal players or break news! I wish someone would tell us the June POTM awards cards like they did with May

It looks like Playstation twitter has been posting game content all day. I would assume we get SDS twitter back soon.

That's the point of their silence. Time for people seeking to ignore or look for a distraction from racism and systematic injustice to have their distraction outlets turned off so they can recognize the problem.

Yeah, but not really the point here, their posts today were about current ps4 games.
