- PlayStation fans announced they’ll be going on a week-long blackout this week.
- Most believe that the week-long boycott won’t work, as Sony will be unaffected.
- The only way to make a change will be to vote with your wallet and completely walk away.
PlayStation dropped a bombshell last month when it announced the end of physical games starting in 2028. This has attracted severe backlash, and fans have decided to go on a week-long blackout to force Sony into reversing its decision.
However, fans are skeptical about the blackout and believe that it won’t really work. They think that the only way to change the decision is to vote with their wallets or completely walk away from the platform as a retaliation tactic.
Why it matters: With no prominent release happening this week, it is kind of pointless to go on a boycott as it won’t affect anything. Sony also previously revealed that the decision hasn’t affected their business at all.
A Redditor discussed the current situation at PlayStation, stating that the blackout isn’t the way to get things done. If fans actually want Sony to reverse its decision, they need to stop buying digital games permanently.
He says going right back to PlayStation after a week makes no sense as it won’t change anything. Until their revenues drop or investments take a hit, the company won’t care about the outage or customer satisfaction.
This is true considering a week won’t really cause any major problems for Sony. The only way to make a difference is to walk away. But even then, it seems that they’ve made a decision, and they won’t be going back anytime now.
