The reactions are because that post is assuming (a) that Nintendo delayed this direct and (b) that Nintendo somehow holds the significance of this death on the same level as 9/11 and war crimes... which is a huge leap. Seriously, if another tragic and unexpected catastrophe that captures global attention happened, we would 100% be expecting a very lengthy delay from multimedia companies. I think the people in this thread are expecting, at most, a 1-2 week delay.
We have literally no insight into the company or its employees' perspective on the Queen, and whether or not they delay this Direct would be for marketing reasons or to avoid some kind of bad press, not because of their personal beliefs or how they 'weigh' tragedy. I do not like the Queen and would rather this Direct not be delayed, but that's irrelevant to whether or not I think they could delay it. Which posts above me have outlined may not even happen.
