I didn't even think about the Airbnb IPO until I read this, pretty horrible timing for them.

I think that window had closed regardless. Maybe nail-gunned shut now, but I don’t think it was ever going to happen.
I'd love to invest in temporarily cheaply-priced Airbnb shares right now.
Until they solve the "I'm the condo owner so I have the right to broadcast naked fotos of your wife and daughters over the Internet" b.s., I wouldn't use or invest in Airbnb in any capacity.
Airbnb has more scumbaggery than just this, so I'm not really sad about their complacent employees not getting their stock options...
author here. the more interesting statement i was considering making, but didn't, was betting on whether they might IPO at all now (say within the next 5 years) given the troubles they had even pre coronavirus
Unity is working towards one too
Unity seems like it won't be impacted though? It might even do better if people are being quarantined. Games are good entertainment when you can't leave the house.
