Apparently there will be some boycott of PS in regards of decision to discontinue disks.
From 23 to 30 of August.

I’m in.
Admittedly I don’t own a PlayStation.
I haven’t owned a Sony console since the PS2, but I will gladly double, even triple, my effort to continue to do nothing!
I haven’t turned on my ps5 in months, this should be easy!
I’ve been participating for several years already.
I don’t remember the last time I turned on my PS5.
My PS5 controllers are full time connected to my steam deck.I’m not sure why it’s a timed boycott.
I already decided a couple years ago that this is my last console from sony. (likely my last console period tbf) everything else they have done since then has been no concern. I haven’t turned my ps5 on more than a handful of times in the last year. No reason to.
Their games are too expensive, are shit quality, and their entire mentality on giving “free” games to subscription members backfired horribly since I never bought any actual games using it, so therefore when I finally cancelled my sub I have nothing to bring me to turn the console on as well.
The Xbox has the same flaw atm, like yea gamepass is an amazing feature but, when you finally cancel that sub… there’s nothing left for you, you won’t see the advertising or the new games they offer, as you don’t have a reason to turn the system on. That was the biggest thing that kept me on my ps3 and 4, when I was playing my actual games, I could slide onto the PS+ area and see what was new, and if something caught my eye I either bought it or downloaded it. With the PS5 and Xbox X nothing has brought me back onto the systems… so nothing is making me feel like I should continue to spend money on the platforms.
Dang. Guess I’m gonna have to go yet another week keeping my PS2 offline.
My PS3 will have to stay thoroughly boxed up on the basement.
👏 Businesses don’t give a fuck about a timed boycott👏
Agreed it should be: starting 23 of August not purchasing any digital games and microtransactions. It would hurt Sony the most
Seriously, timed blackouts and petitions are just being performative. If someone actually cares, sell your ps5/move to another platform. Nothing else matters. This is like how sports game fans complain every year that the game sucks but are still willing to drop 80 dollars on it.
Don’t think casual gamers will care about this. Most will probably just boot up their games on PlayStation after a long day of work or university.
Halo releases this week. Sony isn’t going to notice anything.
If everyone put as much effort into actually boycotting Sony and spreading the message as they do whining about boycotts not working, we might actually see results. If you actually give a shit about this, stop spreading a message that discourages the fight. Direct your apathy and cynicism at Sony. Quit watching from the sidelines while you gawk at the people fighting for all of our rights. If it’s not a long enough boycott, call for a longer one. Apathy is death.
Cool, but maybe every month instead of a one time thing
Props for the desire here but I don’t think think this is the best audience for this. And yeah I’d agree it take more than a timed protest. Need to be full stop and it need to be everyone. It needs to scare the investors who cares about no one but themselves
Then when Sony doesn’t change y’all go back to playing and buying… Fuck I can’t deal with this performative bullshit anymore.
Surely it’ll work this time!

if its longer than a week maybe, a week boycott is just a piss in the wind.
For perspective, the Montgomery bus boycott, which is usually used as a prime example of how well boycotts can work, lasted for 381 days.
But yea a 1 week surely will do something.
With Nintendo doing similarly (with their cartridges simply triggering game downloads), I may never buy a console again.
Why stop at just a taste?
My last console was the PS2 and i still have it and the games i played on it and i have been on PC since then and none of the exclusives on any console have made me consider buying any of them.
