Apparently there will be some boycott of PS in regards of decision to discontinue disks.
From 23 to 30 of August.
Works for me. My last Playstation was a PS2 lol. Been gaming on PC for over 20 years.

I used to be jealous of people with playstation back in the day, but now that i could afford one i have zero interest anymore. There's nothing it does that my gaming pc doesn't do. There's no reason at all to buy a new one as far as i can tell.
If everyone put as much effort into actually boycotting Sony and spreading the message as they do whining about boycotts not working, we might actually see results. If you actually give a shit about this, stop spreading a message that discourages the fight. Direct your apathy and cynicism at Sony. Quit watching from the sidelines while you gawk at the people fighting for all of our rights. If it's not a long enough boycott, call for a longer one. Apathy is death.

Good kids. but that's called a strike
I'm getting rid of my playstation and blocking Sony on my enterprise's network
Do the opposite during gta so the network stays down would do more i think.
Effective ddos just logging in/out.
Thisll work as well as the fifa world cup boycott.
