The world's premier video game trade show, due to be held in June in Los Angeles, was cancelled on Wednesday over the spread of deadly novel coronavirus. The Entertainment Software Association said that the annual gathering would not take place, becoming the latest in growing line of cancelled conferences. "Following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus, we felt this was the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation," the association said in an online post. "We know it's the right decision based on the information we have today." gc/bgs
