Hacking Team Xecuter delay for the Coronavirus in China ?

[smf]

Nintendo claimed the same 2019 and the Lite got announced a couple months later. I don't trust their word until it's 2021.

I kinda agree. They would be stupid to confirm a new switch model coming at the end of the year, it would hurt their current switch sales.

Huuu u didnt remeber that, can you imagine 4k updates for all the previous switch games . That would be very good move .

You'll get remasters eventually anyway, although they wouldn't necessarily need to do it for launching a switch pro.

crazy rumors....

90% of china was already going to be on break anyway for chinese new year.

most factories before even this virus occured, was going to be shutdown until at least feb 3rd or feb 8th for some of bigger ones they give their slaves an extra week off.

so far i heard most are re-opening by the 10th, so what is that a 2 day delay?

it doesn't look good gary

Shows how reliant the world is on China for a lot of things. If China collapses, or just closes all economic bridges, who knows what happens to the world economy.

Jesus chill. Coronavirus is not good news but it's not as bad as SARS. Going by current data it has a mortality rate of 1.9%. SARS had around 7%. Ebola has between 25% and 90%. There are around 500 confirmed deaths for the Coronavirus and around 1000 people have reportedly RECOVERED. Companies are (rightfully) being careful to not make it worse but that does not mean that the world is about to collapse...
Ofc it's not a flu but at the same time it's not the spanish flu either...
weatMod is just being a freaking alarmist/conspiracy theorist.

I sure hope everything gets better from now on. No harmful mutations and hopefully the bird flu won't worsen either and infect humans (or won't be too fatal).

No new electronics in general this year hehe

Don't belief these guys, they do it for the clicks and report the worst cases. For example, the first guy says truth, that the mortality rate calculation is garbage from this aspect, but we have to also consider the not reported/confirmed cases of the virus. You can only do so and so many tests per day and especially Wuhan seems to be in quite bad shape, looking on reported cases (over 16k patients). So likely especially there, the not yet reported cases are also quite big.
When you look outside of Wuhan, the mortality rate and reported cases are relatively low (second highest state has less as 1K patients) and hopefully will also not get so much worse. As I am aware, most of the cases outside of China are reported inside the quarantined people, who were in contact with confirmed cases.

Lets pray for the people there, they have better things to do right now as making our stuff.

For like the 0.01% of hackers that can actually solder.

don't forget the 99.98% of people who can pay their local, IT person, electronics/appliance repair, computer shop, possibly highschooler etc. to do it.

don't get me wrong i realize not everyone can solder electronics but everyone knows someone that has the skills or worst-case scenario if your rural and no local person/business has the skills similar to every other popular mod that requires soldering companies will popup offering mail-in service.

 

[MohammedQ8]

So we cant buy games from Play-asia.com?

 

[matias3ds]

Im just waiting news from team xecuter and an SxOs Update , lets hope that they are safe and sound

 

[garyopa]

Usually a few people will show up on gbatemp with good prices.

The Taipei Gameshow has also being Cancelled for the coronavirus , on that show there was going to be news from Sega games among others, and a possible date for Yo Kai watch western realeases. I hope they can find a Cure soon

I agree thats the point.

there will be good priced options, of course, there will be bad priced options but typically the best price vs reliability options will get the most promotion in enthusiast forums.

acting like only people with soldering skills will utilize this is B.S which was Draxzelex's implication because your average gamer will do mental a cost to benefit analysis and if they deem the price and risk is worth the benefits they will go for it, just like they have with every other hack/mod "sailing the high seas" etc.
?....
does this mean every switch owner will... of course not
but every gamer didnt have modded 360's, pirate satellite or cable, flashcards, emulation, kodi boxes for media etc. but hundreds of thousands to millions of people have throughout the years.
which is why piracy and piracy adjacent industries (because yes i know not all people use these for piracy or they start that way and then move to more homebrew and such later etc.) are a several billion dollar a year industry.

if TX didnt think there was a market they wouldn't bother, no one is in business to loose money.

Can the virus be transmitted through the modchip?

Would you seriously want to take that chance?

I have a bunch of stuff I ordered from China and when it arrives (that one time I wish it would get lost), I'll be cleaning it carefully. I've been following the news of the Coronavirus and you shouldn't believe there's only "200" or "400" people dead, Shanghai and Wuhan have become deserted and people have been dropping dead.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

and preventing virus to spread across the globe!

Yes, but when Western countries are being so careless and allowing people from China to enter unchecked, the virus (if they're infected) then it could contaminate a considerable amount of its population.

Most think it's no big deal because they heard it on the TV.

Well I kinda disagree in general people don't think that far and will stop at "solder" if there's no other option I think it will sell okay, but not as well as a non solder option.

Aliexpress is having delay on their products as well
