Both EA Play and the Steam Game Festival Summer Edition have been delayed by a week in the wake of anti-racist protests around the globe.

First, EA Play will now take place from 9.00 am AEST on 19 June, rescheduled from 12 June.

“With the important conversations taking place and important voices being heard around the world right now, we’re moving out time to come together in play,” Electronic Arts said in a statement.

Next, the Steam Game Festival, Summer Edition, has been scheduled to take place over 16-22 June. It was originally planned between 10-15 June.

“The Steam Game Festival has been rescheduled for Tuesday, June 16th thru June 22nd,” an email from Valve reads.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
