#PSBlackout DAY 3! Purchasing habits never mattered for Sony, only your money did. That's where to hit them. Don't buy. Don't subscribe. Don't even share your payment info. Show Sony what abandoning loyal fans means. Stay clear until they change!

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THE GAME ISN'T ACTUALLY FULLY FINISHED? BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND A DECADE OF WORK WHILE SCREWING OVER BOTH WORKER AND COMSUMER ALIKE AND YOU'RE STILL NOT READY? AND YOU WANT US TO PAY $100 AND NOW OWN THE GAME? GO FUCK YOURSELF.

If #Sony was seeing "no negative impact on its business", they wouldn't resort to bullying outlets. In fact, I'd bet money that the short-term FINANCIAL impact has been below expectations, and yet the ONLINE BACKLASH has far exceeded expectations. Here's how to weaponize this: 1) Don't stop spamming their posts. 2) Don't let news outlets get away with being shameless mouthpieces for #PlayStation that ignore the backlash. 3) Respectfully, make yourselves heard in the comments of posts made in relation to PlayStation - like indie dev releases. Do NOT insult them or swear at them though. You see while Sony seems confident that their current numbers still look good ON PAPER, there is probably a growing dread that the online harassment campaign will never go away. If it becomes clear that this will badly affect their October marketing for GTA6, and even more-so if it becomes obvious that every PS6 interview in 2027 will be a disaster...they'll be forced to respond in some way. Eventually, the cost to completely screw over their fans will exceed the cost to do the bare minimum to be pro-consumer next-gen. It's not about what % of sales are digital, it's about if it's worth losing your ability to market your products to make a little more money on the margins.
PlayStation India is reportedly blacklisting some media outlets over their coverage of Sony’s decision to end physical game discs. According to a report from High Chaos Run, some Indian media organisations were allegedly told they would no longer receive access to PlayStation games, including Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, Wolverine and Phantom Blade Zero. The report claims PlayStation India’s marketing team cited their coverage of the physical-disc decision, saying the reporting put PlayStation in a “bad light” and was done for “views.” It also alleges that some individuals were blocked on WhatsApp by PlayStation’s PR agency.

Our reporting made it on the weird tube place now. Thank you for covering this @xOmniarch.
🚨🎮 THIS PLAYSTATION INDIA STORY JUST GOT A LOT MORE SERIOUS.🤔 Big kudos to @xOmniarch for digging into this. Reports now allege that PlayStation India blacklisted media outlets that covered Sony ending physical discs, including denying access to upcoming games. High Chaos Run says PlayStation marketing staff even cited its reporting as putting PlayStation India in a “bad light.” @Sony has NOT publicly confirmed or responded to the allegations yet. But if accurate, this crosses a line for me. Journalists aren't supposed to keep a corporation comfortable. They're supposed to report what's happening -especially when customers are asking questions. Sony officially announced physical production for new PlayStation games ends in January 2028. Gamers have every right to discuss it. Media has every right to report it. Trying to control the conversation won't make the controversy disappear. @Sony do you understand that you do not run the world? You just can't help yourselves can you? It makes people ask why you're so afraid of the conversation. LMAO - I CAN'T BLAME YOU THERE. Watch @xOmniarch break it down: youtu.be/CSsMIdM_kOg?is=NFX7… @PlayStation @Sony @KackisHD @Aztecross @LUCKYY10P @RGT_85 @Zalker87 @OhNoItsAlexx #PlayStation #Sony #PSBlackout #NoDiscNoBuy #PhysicalMedia #GamePreservation #Gaming 🎯If you like this content, follow. I stay on top of the latest gaming & tech information. Game On!

So PlayStation India’s solution to people covering the death of physical discs is to blacklist the outlets and block them on WhatsApp. Reporting a decision they made now counts as “putting them in a bad light.” This is pure censorship. We’re sliding backwards into a world where simply talking about a company’s bad decisions is enough to get you silenced. History keeps repeating. Corporations never learn. They don’t want ownership. They want control. And the second you point it out, they try to shut you up. Physical media is real ownership. Digital is a lease they can revoke whenever they feel like it. You don’t get to censor people for talking about the shitty choices you made. No disc. No buy. Source: @HighChaosRun

PlayStation India is reportedly blacklisting media outlets for their coverage of their plan to end physical game discs, claiming “it puts them in bad light”🚀 PlayStation India’s PR Agency has allegedly blocked media outlets on WhatsApp and telling others not to expect access to Matvel Tokon, Wolverine and the likes, due to their coverage of the events regarding ending physical game media. If this is true, then this is another example of Sony’s unethical policies that aim to censor media outlets and creators for merely reporting or criticizing a decision. ❌Can you trust this company with your money? ❌Can you trust them not to take away your digital games like they took away 500 movies without compensation? ❌Can you trust any review about them, knowing well they might have threatened media to only give positive reviews? ❌Can you trust that they won’t attempt to censor players and creators for any criticism or reporting? Don’t give them your money NO DISC 💿 NO BUY Source: @HighChaosRun

PlayStation: you can’t own the games you buy. PS fans: ok. PlayStation: oh and you can’t buy gift cards or wallet top ups at will or use a payment method of your choice while you’re at it. Welcome to the utter state of PlayStation in big 2026. highchaosrun.com/2026/07/09/…

REPORT: Jason Schreier on PlayStation’s decision to end physical game media🚀 ✅Sony considers their digital player base is large enough to do without those who continue wanting physical discs ✅They won’t change their retail distribution ✅Stores sell empty boxes with only download code ✅They’re convinced that over time, players will accept a 100% digital gaming future ✅They don’t think it’s necessary to maintain contact with fans ✅They trust the strength of their brand and the loyalty of their community, and imagine they will continue to support their digital games Regarding profitability: ✅When Sony sells a first party physical game to a retailer, the retailer gets around ~30% of the sale price ✅Digital helps them keep 100% of it ✅They expect to significantly increase their profit margins This is absolutely disgraceful to read if true. I’m genuinely repulsed by Sony💿

Sony Blindsided Publishers, Stores & Even Its Own Teams With 2028 Digital-Only PlayStation Games “It’s only hitting us now that we may be out of jobs sooner rather than later.” -anonymous AAA executive, speaking to @HighChaosRun

“A new report” We’re right here 😂
A new report claims Sony caught many publishers, retailers, and business partners off guard with its decision to stop making physical PlayStation games in 2028. According to the report, many partners only learned of it after Sony made the announcement public. One executive at a major AAA publisher said “Despite our seemingly close working relationship with PlayStation, we weren’t informed that this was happening.” “It’s only hitting us now that we may be out of jobs sooner rather than later.” The report says talks between Sony and its partners have been tense since the announcement. Some companies are frustrated by how the decision was handled, and in countries like India, it has disrupted plans to expand PlayStation retail stores.

Sony blindsided its own partners with their "kill discs" strategy. We heard from multiple insiders that 3rd party had no clue it was coming. Now a report suggests 1st party/AAA was steamrolled too. Sony screws the industry, and doesn't even give its own folks time to brace. teapawt.net/RishiAlwani/status/207…
This likely explains why not a single major publisher or business partner supports PlayStation’s decision in public. PlayStation Killed Discs Without Telling Its Publishers or Business Partners highchaosrun.com/2026/07/07/… #ps5 #playstation

The price difference between Steam and the PlayStation Store. The PC digital format is infinitely superior.
