We also intend to stream a set of these GDC 2020 talks and the Independent Games Festival and Game Developers Choice Awards via Twitch during the week that the event would have taken place in San Francisco (March 16th to 20th), so that our community can continue to honor & celebrate its best games.

It joins the other events that have been delayed to roughly the summer season, like Taipei Game Show 2020 and the Asia Pacific Predator League. Some of the names that pulled out or would have had a diminished presence at the event include:
