    Cynical take: this will achieve absolutely nothing, but I’m sure the half dozen people who actually boycott (rather that just saying they will) will feel really good about themselves after.

      What is with the condescending take on it? Giving up is certainly not doing anything useful for yourself either. Maybe it will work, maybe it won’t. But giving up from the start because you think it’s hopeless is a sure fire way to lose. It’s not about feeling good about myself, it’s about not letting them take away our choice. I’m gonna fight for our choice, and you should too. You can be cynical and still try.

      Yeah. People would have to actually start buying massive amounts of physical games and probably a blackout as well plus other forms of protest to get Sony to reconsider and even then I don’t think they’re going to do that.

      They literally have a social media blackout right now because they’re hoping if they ignore the news long enough people will forget.
