PlayStation fans plan PS5 protest with one week of not playing any video games
A group of PlayStation gamers are organizing a week-long 'blackout' protest from August 23 to August 30, urging participants to avoid playing any games on Sony's platforms. This action is in response to Sony's decision to cease production of physical game discs after 2027, which organizers believe further alienates the fanbase. While the protest aims to impact active player metrics, its effectiveness in reversing Sony's decision is questioned due to the growing dominance of digital sales.
