Angry PS5 players now propose an “indefinite” boycott of Sony’s console, as the previously planned blackout steps up its intensity.
In updated language, protesters say the originally mentioned window of 23rd August through 30th August is now “a minimum requirement”.
“Everyone is encouraged to go indefinitely until Sony change course,” the Does It Play account, a leader in the protest, writes. “Pedal to the metal or we won't get anywhere!”
Major upcoming PS5 games include The Blood of Dawnwalker, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Marvel’s Wolverine, Control Resonant, and GTA 6 – among many others.
It’s going to be really interesting to see how resolute campaigners remain in the face of an increasingly strong release schedule.
Original Story: Irate PS5 players have started unplugging their consoles all around the world, as a protest against Sony gets underway.
The blackout – technically scheduled to start at 7pm local time, but already being observed by many participants – is designed to reduce the Japanese giant’s active users, a key performance metric for the company.
Campaigners suggest participants should keep their consoles unplugged from today through 30th August as a minimum. That means no logins, no gaming, and certainly no spending through the PS Store.
