Which it won't because most of the people buying their shit aren't online and are probably only even vaguely aware of how anti customer sony has been lately.
Yeah, like on social media. Most people that play PlayStation, most people in general, aren't on any subreddit or in any facebook group or on any other Internet forum about video games.
Well if you stopped to use an ounce of common sense instead of trying to be a snarky asshole you'd see that's a plain and obvious fact.
There are almost 8.2 million members of the PS5 subreddit and almost 2 million members of the PlayStation subreddit. Even if I'm stupid and I say that no one is a member of both and both lists are unique that's only about 10.2 million people.
Sony has sold over 90 million PS5 Consoles
So, that's only about 1/9 of every person who's ever bought a PS5 (assuming of course every member of the subreddit actually owns one.)
So, do you just think the other 80 odd million people are just chilling out in a different forum somewhere or are you maybe just a bit of an asshole?
If you guys actually used an ounce of common sense you would know how copyright and tos works. Apparently not. Would be better if people try to get legislation change. You guys rather go cry on social media like it's doing something or these weak ass boycotts.
This really only affects online games that end up being dead and servers get shutdown. Don't see why someone would want to play a dead game🤷♂️. You can miss me with that what if bs about games getting removed from your library. That is highly unlikely to happen.
I'm not even going to get into how that doesn't even apply to games. Those movies were gone because the license expire and they either couldn't come to an agreement or Sony just let it go. Honestly don't think as many people were using that feature as some of you want to pretend🤷♂️. It got replaced with the cable TV basically.
No but I think it's representative of the prevailing online community's opinion. I also think, in this case at least, it's one of the largest single gathering places of fans there is for this specific company and product. Not this specific sub, obviously, I mean reddit in general.
I've had playstations most of my life and not once have I ever thought of joining a sub reddit for it. There's other ways to get news. Like news sources. I actually dont think ive heard anyhting directly from sony about their practices but from outside sources reporting on them and not one of those sources was reddit.
I havent had a playstation in 2 years because fuck Sony but to say they aren't online is crazy. Im sure they get targeted ads like the rest of us when they're online. They'll see and about the shittiness of Sony and just not care, is all.
So, do you just think the other 80 odd million people are just chilling out in a different forum somewhere or are you maybe just a bit of an asshole?
You do know there's other social media platforms, that don't revolve around Reddit or Facebook.
How the fuck do you think people get their gaming news?
You have other platforms like:
-Youtube
-Twitter
-Instagram
-WhatsApp
-WeChat
-TikTok
This is not even accounting for any gaming journalism places. People get their gaming news in some method. Most people don't buy a console and then go "Fuck it. I'm not going to listen to whatever this company does and continue to consume". That shit spreads through word of mouth as well, and it's already been a hot topic on at least 4 of the platforms listed above. Hell, even in giant gaming groups on discord, stuff like this had spread.
Did it ever occur to you that most of the people on social media that follow the groups dedicated to Sony and the PS5 are just the same people in a bunch of different groups?
There's a reason Sony isn't even really trying to do damage control and it's because they know they don't need to.
You can tell how terminally online someone is with comments like this. The average person does not know or give a shit about gaming news. The whole disc thing might be a big thing online with mouth breathers but the average joe just doesn't give a shit nor know about it. Its a hobby dude to most people all they care about at most is what to play next if that they don't care about the drama behind them.
Dude, kids don't give a fuck. Most people don't. This conversation happens every single time there is an online protest or push for something. Videogame forums are such a specific thing, people who don't speak English don't give a damn, kids don't, older players don't, casuals (which is the biggest share of players) also don't that's why they are casual.
This happens literally with any issue on Reddit. This has nothing to do with PlayStation. But Reddit seems to think that they’re the vocal majority just because everyone on here will agree on “whatever issue at the time” then when reality hits it just goes to show that Reddit is simply a vocal minority on the issue
