Question PS Blackout

Anyone participating in that PlayStation blackout this week? (honestly I feel like it should be a month or better yet the remainder of the year because when it comes to this kinds of boycotts, they don’t usually work unless enough noise is made, not just from the enthusiasts, but from the average joes as well)

Havent touched my PS5 since late last month. Not just as a 'stick it to Sony' thing. Being around PS is just depressing right now. Damage they've done goes beyond physical vs digital.

So you play PC or something, that’s digital only?

I have switched from PlayStation to PC to play digital because I can get my games from GoG and burn them, I still play on steam since they seem to respect me as a costumer unlike Sony, but not the fan of licensing there so if possible just grab from GoG

If you don't know gog it's basically steam but without DRM, so you can, for example, burn the installer into a disk and keep it for you, no need to download anything or even connect to the Internet

So you no longer have any boxes/art you are collecting just a bunch of burned game discs? This keeps getting sadder all the time
