The main thing I’m aiming for is, I imagine, the same. Sony to reverse course and/or regulations/legislation to be implemented in favor of consumer protections.
They aim to let PlayStation see the numbers in agreement behind the want for physical media. That’s it. Just physical media. Stopping within a time frame, as a group, speaks volumes for that.
I agree with all of that. What I disagree with is the method of affecting change. Sony already sees the reaction and I’m sure its outlasted their initial expectations. Again, a week of people not signing in is a blip on the radar. I say this as someone in the tech industry. And more than just physical discs, which is a big part, I do believe this is about the consumer protections they offer as well, which have been peeled back with day 1 patches, keys on cards and discs rather than files, etc.
I’m entirely unclear on what you’re trying to actually achieve, though. You want to abstain from PlayStation forever, that’s it? I don’t see why you are engaging in discussion about it, if you’re just done, be done.
As I mentioned above, my goal would be to preserve physical media and consumer protections in regards to games. To accomplish this you need to appear as a credible threat to the bottom line, not throwing a temper tantrum that can be calculated and waited out. I, already, am done personally, but this is a public forum. Others who are aligned can see and learn from discussion.
If you have a free week to sit outside some PlayStation headquarters, go do. I would suggest less people have that ability, than the number that have the ability to show, how many in numbers they are, by abstaining for a week.
I’m also not American and I don’t live in America. If you think your way is better, rather than sprout off, go gather numbers and organise.
Less people do have that ability. That is exactly why mentioned that organizers’ time would be better spent organizing mass mobilization instead of multiple intermittent blackouts.
And I already have, not for Sony, but for ICE, Tesla Takedown, and DeFlock. I’m working on helping fight against the privacy invasion and laws we’re facing regarding age verification, digital personal privacy, etc. I’m only one person though. I’m recommending to the organizers of this boycott on more effective strategies to achieve their outcomes and would even further recommend aligning with the SKG movements as they should be aligned in these goals, preserving games and media.
