After Sony, Electronic Arts, Facebook e Kojima Pructions are also added Epic Games, Microsoft e Unity to the long black list of absences from the conference. The latter companies, however, explained that their absence is due to the global Coronavirus epidemic and for this reason they prefer to prevent any "tragedies" in progress.
