Summer Games Done Quick 2020 postponed, Corona Relief event announced

Summer Games Done Quick 2020 cover.jpg

Event delays have become inevitable at this point, and the latest gathering to fall victim to COVID-19 related delays is this year's Summer Games Done Quick. SGDQ 2020 has been pushed back from this June and will now take place from August 16-23, 2020. Any games scheduled for the original event will be cancelled, with the new game speedrun events to be announced on June 6th, following a submission period that will last from April 29th to May 9th. For those that still want some Games Done Quick action, a new event will be held soon called Corona Relief Done Quick, which will run from April 17-19. It'll be online-only, and will see all donations go to Direct Relief, a nonprofit organization that helps those in poverty that are affected by emergency medical situations.

Our response to the COVID-19 Situation
The outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease, also known as COVID-19, has had a large impact on the world since last year.

In response to the situation surrounding COVID-19, Games Done Quick (GDQ) will be doing the following:

  • Summer Games Done Quick 2020 will officially be postponed to August 16-23, 2020 in Bloomington, MN. With the event being postponed, we will be adjusting our dates accordingly:
    • Attendee registration will now run from June 7th to July 20th.
    • All existing game submissions will be wiped on April 26 and reopened with a fresh call for submissions. If you plan on resubmitting for SGDQ’s new August dates, you will have until April 26th to save your submission information.
      • SGDQ 2020's game submissions will open anew April 29th through May 9th.
      • Games List: June 6th
      • Game Schedule: June 15th
    • All volunteer applications will be removed.
      • All volunteers, including hosts, will need to reapply through Initlive so we know who is interested in volunteering during the event's new dates.
      • Hosts who have already submitted an audition will not need to submit a new one.
        • Volunteer Application Dates: April 29th - May 9th
        • Volunteer Selection: June 5th
        • Volunteer Schedule: July 6th
    • Prize submissions: June 7th - August 2nd
    • Panel submissions: June 8th - July 8th
  • In the meantime, GDQ will be holding an online marathon, Corona Relief Done Quick, from April 17-19, 2020. One hundred percent of all CRDQ donations will go directly to Direct Relief, a humanitarian aid organization with a mission to improve the health and lives of people affected by poverty or emergencies.
    • Game Submissions are open now until April 2nd. Please submit your games for consideration using the CRDQ Game Submissions Form.
    • Submissions to CRDQ will not impact submissions made to SGDQ.
    • Games List & Schedule: April 13

It's amazing how many idiots like to comment on things they have no knowledge about.
Saying "i've never heard of this so it must be nothing" isn't a shot at the event, it just makes you look retarded given GDQ is one of if not THE largest charity event in gaming history. They raise literal millions of dollars these days which is more than any of you will contribute to society in several lifetimes.

People get so butthurt because GDQ has rules now. Who woulda thought having a viewership of 200,000 concurrent people meant you had to regulate things a bit. What a shocker. A tiny amount of people get banned and it's because they did something very obviously against the rules. Not very difficult rules either. Most of the runners even openly admit they broke the rules and understand the punishment, yet it's their rabid fanboys crying the show is corrupt and evil. Some rules are a bit stupid and overly PC but it doesn't detract from anything. There's still a ton of fun runs, it really just depends on who the runner is and how their couch is. The rules are pretty much just "Don't swear, and don't talk about killing yourself for the entire run while the audience becomes more and more awkward as time passes."

Shits good fun for a good cause and always has dozens of great runs to watch.

Y'all need to find things to bitch about that don't make you look so stupid and ignorant. The show keeps growing so obviously they're doing things right despite the vocal minority of whiny babies.

i mean people seems fine with the rules, but just like you said "Some rules are a bit stupid and overly PC". i believe that's where most of the outrage is coming in. other outrages are when some people got banned for things they said back then that was edgy (either on twitter or when they called a game character a bad name) that had nothing to do with them today, and even with an apology they still get banned.
