  You voted with your wallet for this when you bought into their bullshit.

  You spent a single dollar at the company so you support everything they do is reductive and juvenile. Try engaging your brain.

    You spent a single dollar at the company so you support everything you do

    Is a reductive an juvenile way of interpreting the original comment, how ironic. He’s right, it seems during weekends peak PlayStation users go above 100 million, which would mean if even 1 million people followed this boycott, that’s less than 1% of their active user base. It’s too late, and it’s because people like you spend hundreds of dollars for their hardware and service, year after year, and then you belittle it because you’re in denial of making an awful decision.

        And what, just stole the PlayStation? If you’ve spent no actual money on Sony then you’re by far the exception of PlayStation owners, and not the norm. It’s funny how you don’t realize that.

    The voting happened when this statistically average individual bought digital games over physical, or, after purchasing a physical disk, downloaded any updates.

  A boycott that lasts months or years on the other hand…

    I’m happy to proclaim entering my 30th continuous year of Sony boycotting. Where’s my award?

  My son who plays all the time going go whole month without turning on his PS5.

  Fucking week! Thought it whole month of August? Also why wait towards the end? Such weak shit. Why bother they won’t even notice.

  Can we please extend this for whole month starting on August the 1st?

  A single week is a realistic goal.

    Realistic in the sense that its easy and won’t do anything I guess.

    Although what does not playing your games even achieve? It has a larger cost on you than it does on Sony. Playing games you already bought doesn’t even benefit them.

    Surely more effective and easier would be to keep playing the games you already have and just to indefinitely refuse to ever buy another Sony product. You don’t lose anything you already had that way and they take a massive hit on future sales.
