Very hot topic in my Group Chat. Half are saying its easy to do so so they will b doing it , half are saying its not going to do anything.

What are you doing? Lets talk about it

I dont minnd participating. MGS4 got glowing reviews on Switch 2, so will be going that Side for the Game

Haven't touched my PS5 in months I've been doing it

Lol

this will show them !! GAMERS RISE

What do I gain from this?

reddit karma and gold

wouldn’t it have made more sense strategically to do this during a week that people will actually be buying and playing games? Like sometime in September

They like “ we not brave enough to do this wolverine week let’s do this a week with no new games “

I'll do it.

(I wasn't planning on playing anyway)

Hell nah

I've been on PC for a weeks now but it has nothing to do with this lil boycott lol

Curious, if ps was your main platform would this move you to not log on though?

Online all the time and this is the first I'm hearing of it

This isn't about to do a goddamn thing

No because it's not a real boycott. Do it during Wolverine or GTA and now youre saying something but Gamers(tm) aint really about this s*** frfr. Though, I did end up building a PC because Sony's been ticking me off all gen lol

I understand the blackout and won't hold it against those whom are participating, but it would be more effective if they either boycott Wolverine or GTA6 if they really want to make a difference tbh

Wolverine wouldn't mean s*** either, tons of people are clowning it online for the last 2 months

It'd have to be GTA and you can't make a dent in that release

Aka this won't work

true but Sony seeing one of the tentpole 1st party releases not hitting its first week metrics wouldve been something at least. GTA is too big with casuals and casuals don't care about anything like this so you're right about that

I’m all for physical media & hating Sony.

But

Its a nice thought but Wolverine's relative success in regards to first week metrics is a dice roll at this point

Normies love the s*** out of Wolverine too but then the exact people that would participate in this protest are the same that have been calling it a linear cartoon ass nothing game all summer and probably wasn't copping anyways

And this would also have to go viral everywhere and it hasn't, and we're a day out?

Wolverine wouldve been a easy target for something like this imo since it's already getting clowned but the "organizers" don't actually want to miss out on any games lol and the fact that you wouldve had to be on niche gaming sites to even hear about this so-called boycott doomed it from the get

A real protest would involve cancelling PS Plus for the rest of the generation more than not logging on.

I mostly agree with this, I think the people clowning Wolverine that wouldn't have bought it anyways are the same terminally online people that would be boycotting if they HAD heard about it

Its kind of apples & oranges but look at the Reddit API blackout. It didn't accomplish f*** and they were well organized and everyone was informed and the exact target audience for it. It was massive too.
