Apparently there will be some boycott of PS in regards of decision to discontinue disks.

From 23 to 30 of August.

      Wouldn’t even be surprised if Sony organised this it’s so pathetic. Let’s people vent for a week and then all over I guess. Why would they even bother changing?

      Boycotting with a small window, isn’t the whole war, it’s just one shot fired. It gives them an idea of the numbers involved, the amount of people who disagree with their policy, and an idea we won’t just forget and roll over. If they ignore the first shot fired, you fire more, and you get bigger with every shot fired. It’s got to effect their bottom line, or they will ignore it. People who entirely abstain are just measured as not in the argument at all. You don’t give them pressure by never owning a PlayStation. You just aren’t a customer. They count customers. It would even be worthwhile to create a PlayStation account, log in the day before the boycott, and log out for the duration, then log in again the day after the end, so you have a measurable voice in the movement. If you went to their offices, you would just look clinically unhinged, and they would just involve police, and ignore you.

          I don’t necessarily disagree with you. Depending on what your aim is there, which isn’t really explained in anything you have said.

          I think we’re talking about entirely different things. And different wants for outcome. I don’t necessarily advocate personally for the efforts they’ve exampled, I just saw you didn’t seem to understand their logic. So I explained what they aim for.

          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’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.

          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.
