🚨 PS5 BLACKOUT — DAY 1 UPDATE!
THE BLACKOUT HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN.
August 23rd–30th.
And something VERY interesting is happening at the same time.
PlayStation users have recently received Sony's terms reminding customers of something we've been talking about this entire time:
DIGITAL GAMES ARE LICENSED — NOT SOLD TO YOU.
Think about that.
This is EXACTLY why so many of us are fighting to preserve physical games.
And you can put it on your shelf knowing you possess an actual copy of the game.
And here's another important update:
Gaming outlets are now reporting on the PS5 BLACKOUT actually getting underway.
Tom’s Hardware published a story today reporting that preservation group DoesItPlay and other creators are calling for no PSN logins, no play sessions, and no purchases on Sony platforms from August 23–30.
Push Square is also reporting that players have begun unplugging consoles around the world. The publication specifically notes that the protest is intended to reduce PlayStation's monthly-active-user metric;
That's progress.
People said nobody would hear about it.
They're hearing about it.
People said nobody would talk about it.
They're talking about it.
Now comes the important part:
PARTICIPATION.
If you're participating this week:
❌ DON'T PLAY
❌ DON'T LOG INTO PSN
❌ DON'T BUY FROM THE PLAYSTATION STORE
❌ DON'T PURCHASE PLAYSTATION HARDWARE
And keep spreading the message.
THIS IS CONSUMER CHOICE
Sony hasn't publicly reversed course because of this blackout.
And nobody should expect a corporation this large to change direction on Day 1.
Movements need momentum.
DAY 1 IS ABOUT MAKING OURSELVES VISIBLE.
So here's today's question:
WHO IS STILL BLACKED OUT?
If you're participating, comment:
🎮 DAY 1 — STILL BLACKED OUT!
Then SHARE this and see how many gamers we can reach.
💿 PHYSICAL + DIGITAL
🤝 LET GAMERS CHOOSE
NO DISC. NO BUY.
