Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation)

A boycott with a deadline isn’t a boycott; it’s barely a demonstration. A boycott is until demands are met, no sooner. This is controlled opposition. If you want your demands met, don’t waste your time organizing for anything less than a real (full, indefinite) boycott.

Line with almost every other protest or “boycott” these days, it’s all performative. Most of the people “boycotting” will be online playing their digital games during that week, guaranteed.

That’s not true.
It’s much simpler, this tweet from one dude won’t have the reach to really make any impact. Awareness is the problem more than willpower, and it’s werid that we think anyone who “broke” the boycott was even aware to begin with. Or cares.

Be careful, the dude above seems to be a shill of some sort for kernel level anti-cheat or potentially a large corporation.

Not really sure what you were reading, but I specifically said that most of the people taking part in this boycott, however few, will break said boycott and play digitally bought games anyway.

And I’m saying that’s a bad faith statement, as if you know every single person who didn’t boycott pledged to boycott or even know of the boycott.
