Truth is they don’t matter, same way PushSquare and their friends IGN don’t matter.
This is a vacuum that “hardcore gamers” come to read more in depth about the thing we love, but we’re a very small percentage of an insanely large audience.
As for the boycotters, the results of their efforts do the talking for them, irrelevant.
There was nothing complicated about the release schedule for the game, it was actually very clear.
Campaign was advertised as being available a week early for those who pre-ordered - same as previous years. DMZ was advertised as being available Tuesday for those who pre-ordered. Multiplayer was advertised for Friday (today), which is the actual global release of the game.
Weird thing to say in the first line of the article whilst failing to report that it went live early due to an exploit that allowed you to access multiplayer through DMZ all day yesterday.
People not understanding Joel’s death “He TrUsT’s StRaNgEr’S aLl Of A sUdDeN” still make me laugh.
But yes, Season 2 was terrible and highlighted not only why the casting for older Ellie was bad, but why making changes to original source material is the usually a bad idea.
It's fine if people want to buy the stupid skins, but if other players don't want to see them then give that option.
I'm part of the problem, I bought the Lara Croft skin back on MW2022 and still use it in Warzone. If people don't want to see that, they should have the option.
With all the controversy around PlayStation and everyone seemingly staging their own boycott's, how about they boycott Xbox (like most of the industry did this gen).
Consistently cancel projects, constant layoffs and studio closures, destroying existing IP and the a major of why physical games are dying in the first place.
It's about time people realised their own hypocrisy.
@Member_the_game every single Facebook post? Are we really using this as a measurement?
If video game companies listened to online feedback and surveys for critisism that isn't represented with actual data, live service wouldn't exists as an example. Because "online" hates live service and wishes it'd die...but continues to help it be the top 10 every month with all live service titles.
Facts don't care about your feelings unfortunately (not YOU directly), and it's clear Sony are sticking by that.

Re: This Classic PS1 Star Wars Game Just Got a Neat PS5 Enhancement
I was just looking at Star Wars games on cloud for my Portal last night and knew this didn’t have a platinum trophy.
This is next after Jak & Daxter 😍
Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (PS5) - Same Old Multiplayer Drags Down Stellar Package
Solid review tbh.
Campaign is stellar, a return to form not seen since MW 2019.
DMZ is very much a work in progress but does show early signs of promise.
Multi though is an absolute mess.
Re: Save Mass Effect Petition Rockets Past 200,000 Signatures as Fans Ask EA to Continue the Series

Genuinely can't wait for this, got my Collector's Edition pre-ordered already 🙌🏻
Re: Round Up: Modern Warfare 4 Is the Highest-Rated Call of Duty in 15 Years
@PSXB not even comparable games tbh, classic bait comment
Re: Round Up: Modern Warfare 4 Is the Highest-Rated Call of Duty in 15 Years
Excellent campaign and promising looking DMZ.
Multiplayer is pretty terrible with a lot of issues, but this will always fluctuate as the year goes on.
MW 2019 was definitely the better game, but this is a very strong return to form that is very much welcomed after some disastrous entries of late.
Re: EA Scrubbing Mass Effect from Other Games as Series Starts to Die Off
@Olmaz wouldn't surprise me if it's somehow tax related as they'll no doubt be trying to claim back expense from the cancelled game.

Re: 'We're Victims of Xbox's Change in Strategy': Dishonored Dev Has Weeks to Save Itself
Blade was always fine in terms of continued production - I said it months ago when you posted the article saying Xbox wanted to cancel it - https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2026/06/xbox-wants-to-cancel-marvels-blade-close-arkane-studios
Marvel are actually incredibly unhappy with Microsoft - new publishers are already sniffing around.

That price for Death Stranding is such a steal.

You definitely knew what you was doing with that screenshot, a cultured man I see.
Re: Star Wars Battlefront 3 in Dev at DICE and Respawn, Multiple Sources Say
When this turns from rumour to fact, @get2sammyB you seriously have to stop covering/reporting on Jeff Grubb.
Re: 'Campaign Is Easily Top Three': Modern Warfare 4's Early User Reviews Are Shockingly Positive
This is an excellent campaign but it's far from top three ever, it's not even top 5.
BUT, compared to the absolute garbage that has been produced since MW 2019 (which this isn't better than), is certainly a positive sign.
Unfortunately, a huge part of this campaign related to Price and Task Force 141 holds it back from being better.
Re: Could Sony's Bungie Build the Next Star Wars Battlefront Game?
What absolute nonsense reporting from Grubb.
Honestly, when this turns out not to be true, you gotta stop reporting what this guy says, it's embarrassing.
Re: Rumour: AAA Assassin's Creed Game Set in China Was Cancelled Just Last Year
This genuinely could have been peak AC.
Re: Samson Dev Goes Bankrupt Just a Month After Gritty Open World Game's Arrival on PS5
Surprising to nobody but PushSquare who backed it from day 1 despite the clear signs.
Re: Street Fighter Movie Cracks Over $50M at Box Office in Opening Weekend
I really enjoyed it. It's obviously not going to win any awards but it wasn't trying to, it's just a fun popcorn flick and that's all I wanted.
More Chun-Li thigh shots in round 2 please 😂
Re: Movie Review: Street Fighter - Gaudy Testosterone-Fuelled Action Film Is Fun But Not a Knockout
Read the "washed up wrestlers" line and mostly brushed off the entire review.
Zero ball knowledge on show.
Re: Trials Studio RedLynx Looks Set to Close as Ubisoft Continues Major Restructure
This one hurts a lot, we were long overdue another Trials game.
Fusion and Rising were brilliant games :/

Re: Some of Sony's First-Party Games Are Suddenly Missing from PS Store in the US
@ShadowRJ £7.99 on the store right now too.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds's Final Year One DLC Pack Is Live Now on PS5
@ShadowRJ Toph is the best character alongside Zuko, shame they didn't put either of them in this DLC.
Still, this looks great 👍🏻
Re: God of War Laufey Collector Box Available for Pre-Order Now, Doesn't Include the Game
@illegalmonkey lol, this is really cheap for a collector's edition.
You obviously don't buy many.
Re: God of War Laufey Collector Box Available for Pre-Order Now, Doesn't Include the Game
I don't have issue with this if the price is right.
I like the statues from collector's editions and buy the game digitally separately - sometimes, long after the game has actually released.
Obviously it'd be convenient if the game was included, but it actually gives options which is a positive (I know, a shock on this site, a positive)
Re: Ace Combat 8 Has Sold One Million Copies Faster Than Any Previous Entry in the Series
Only joined the franchise with ACE7, can't wait to jump into this new entry.
I'll grab the wallpaper now 🙌🏻
Re: Star Wars Zero Company Success Allows Dev to Bring Back Staff
Until all the employees are back and paid in both salary and bonuses, this won't be news to celebrate.
Amazing game that was underrated by some 👀
The team deserves to continue with DLC/sequels under better working conditions.
Re: PS5 to Integrate Anime into Main Menu as Sony Tightens Ties with Crunchyroll
I used Crunchyroll almost everyday.
I don't want it blasted everywhere on my home screen, i'm happy with the app and it just being available on console.
Re: Wolverine PS5's Controversial Fart Trails Can Now Be Toggled in Story Sequences
Overblown nonsense from the hate mob.
Re: 'This Is Intentional': GameStop to Start Scalping Used PS5 Pros for $1,500
I'm pretty sure they can sell it at any price they like.
It'd be the same for CEX in the UK, it's a resellers market. Makes zero difference whether it's a high street shop or online like eBay.
Resellers determine the price.
Re: Yet More PS5 Security Concerns as Another High-Profile Account Is Hacked

Still waiting for coverage gents @get2sammyb @LiamCroft
Re: New PS5 Firmware Update 26.06-14.10.00 Available to Download Now
@tameshiyaku I see your point but they have a duty to report the news right?
It may be a conversation of piracy, but it’s also a potential security risk that users of the platform should be made aware of.
Re: New PS5 Firmware Update 26.06-14.10.00 Available to Download Now
@tameshiyaku lol, they've helped fuel the hate campaign against PlayStation for months 😂
Re: New PS5 Firmware Update 26.06-14.10.00 Available to Download Now
@get2sammyb @LiamCroft youse gunna cover the console being jailbroken completely wide open?

Re: 'People Are Very Happy Using PS5': Former Sony Exec Shuhei Yoshida Thinks PS6 Can Wait
I do often think what life with PlayStation would be like if they kept on the 'personalities' route they had in PS4 era.
Miss having Shu around :/
Re: These 3 Classic Toy Story Games Have All Been Delisted on PS5, Removed from PS Plus
@get2sammyb and even if you’ve got them installed on your console, you’ll be locked out from playing them.
This needs further looking into mate because that's never happened before with single player games - massively concerning!
Re: 'Sony's Hearing a Lot of the Feedback from Customers': NIS America Boss Weighs in on PS5 Disc Debate
No disrespect to NIS America, but they are such an incredibly small percentage in the grand scheme of this issue - barely a consideration at all.
If the big publishers don't care, then that's that.
Re: Newest Wolverine PS5 Update Wipes Out Scent Trails to Collectibles
Glad I beat the game with the artists true intention which there was absolutely no issue with.

Re: The Last of Us Day Celebrations Will Bring Partnerships and Collaborations, Season 3 Casting News Announced
People not understanding Joel’s death “He TrUsT’s StRaNgEr’S aLl Of A sUdDeN” still make me laugh.

Re: Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve (PS5) - The Series Lands Its Most Confident Entry Yet
So happy this is reviewing well, especially after playing the series for the first time last month with Ace 7.
Very excited to jump in to this.
Re: Xbox Is Disappearing into Activision and Bethesda, So What Does That Mean for PS5?
@Mr-Cage gamers as a whole.
We're all about punishing bad practices 2026 right?
Era of the boycott.
But people just pick and choose their battles and spout fake outrage, often without any action.
Re: Warzone Will Soon Let You Turn Off Other Players' Stupid Skins
This is what they should have done all along.
It's fine if people want to buy the stupid skins, but if other players don't want to see them then give that option.
I'm part of the problem, I bought the Lara Croft skin back on MW2022 and still use it in Warzone. If people don't want to see that, they should have the option.
Good move that's long overdue.
Re: GTA 6 Pre-Orders 'Heavily Skewed' Towards PS5, Xbox Exec Responds
That edit with Matthew Ball reply is jokes.
If your previous record is 5 pre-orders, then 6 pre-orders would be "breaking records".
Xbox live to skew their figures like they did with the always profitable Game Pass 😂
Re: GTA 6 Collector's Box Is $400, Doesn't Include the Game
I'll buy the hat on the aftermarket for sure, but the rest of this is just garbage tbh
