Backers of physical media have called on gamers to boycott PlayStation for a week in August to send a message to Sony that its decision to kill discs from 2028 is unacceptable. https://t.co/Q54DTtbkUV
Bojkotujący Sony, gracze oraz Does it Play wyszli z naprawdę ciekawą inicjatywą.
Od 23 sierpnia będzie odbywała się wielka akcja #PSBlackout podczas której przez tydzień gracze sprzeciwiający się decyzji Sony nie będą się w żaden sposób angażować w ekosystem PSN.
Chodzi tu mianowicie o:
- logowanie się do PSN
- kupowanie gier w PS Store
- granie online
Czy to coś da i zadziała? Tego nie wiemy, ale jakakolwiek forma sprzeciwu wobec wrednego korpo jest zawsze na plus. Nawet jeżeli to te 10%, to zawsze warto pokazać co się myśli na ten temat.
#NieBądźcieSkurwySony
Sony wants to abandon fans? Let's give them a small taste of their own medicine!
Together with other creators we call for a 1 week #PSBlackout in August. No logins, no play sessions, no purchases on any of Sony's platforms.
The downgrade didn’t happen overnight🚀
✅First, the manual disappeared
✅Then the map
✅And then the disc
✅Gameplay became more passive
✅Ownership became a “license to access”
✅Second hand market is disappearing too
Somehow, the price kept going up, and the vilification of gamers as “toxic” and “entitled” became louder as gaming became less about gamers and more about the industry backpatting that is totally detached from reality and gaming audiences.
But we don’t have to be silent
You WANT their games
But they NEED your money
So put your money where your wants are respected
Your enemy is not your fellow gamer, but whoever wants the most of your money for less and less quality
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
>announce going fully digital
>Everyone hates you
>Digital servers start crashing
>Everyone still hates you and now they're laughing too
What was their plan bro seriously
🎭 Anonymous hacked PlayStation Servers and took them down in protest of Sony stating they will get rid of physical in 2028 and be digital only
This then locked out many players from their accounts and Digital Games. Many couldn’t even play the new Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls.
This once again proves how terrible Sony server security still is and how digital only future is risky with Sony.
25 days since Sony announced their draconian plan to end physical games🚀
✅Starting monopoly
✅Taking away player choice
✅Removing any sense of ownership
✅Ending trading/second hand market
✅Paving to raise prices on a whim
✅Leaving players who paid for a full purchase at the mercy of a storefront, internet connection, unreliable network functionality, licensing deals and an incompetent support team in case of hack or ban
And still no statement or acknowledgement towards the worldwide push back, and using cowardly means to demoralize and discourage valid concerns
Remember that they NEED your money
But you WANT their games
You hold the money. You call the shots
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
Decided to check the Official Playstation page on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
They're getting destroyed on all 3 platforms over the end of physical games. Glad to see it's everywhere.

Imagine announcing you’re going fully digital and while the world still hates you for it, your platform goes down for hours… rendering all digital games useless 😭
Playstation Network down. Can't use your downloaded games in your OWN console. It will happen again and again, and someday it will ultimately be down forever.
Sony deciding to stop releasing games on physical support is the worst thing to have ever happened in gaming history.
