Not saying don't do it, but it's a blip on the radar. As someone who works in tech, a week blackout looks like a bunch of people going on vacation. Especially during August, which is during many summer vacations.

Never buy a digital title for a console. If you need to buy digital, buy it on the open hardware platform.

If you really want to send a message, deleting your account or cancelling PS plus if you have it does more. That shows a decline in MoM retention.

Timed boycotts are an assimilation to corporate control. If the goal of a boycott is to affect change it must be indefinite as the change it wishes to bring about is required to end it.

Do it this week, next week, the week after...

Nobody has explained how simply not using the console you already bought would affect their profits negatively at all. If anything, it will lower their server costs from the reduced bandwidth for a month.

Just stop buying anything from Sony until they get the message. No music, no games, no subscriptions, no movies, no media players or proprietary media (ie BluRay disks regardless of what they are for; even Xbox games), no hardware, etc.

Gave it a go this week. Did some Gardening made a friend :

At least someone likes my cauliflower 👍

Felt pretty okay with it tbh. Will give it another go on the 23rd.
