I'm not sure why it's a timed boycott.
I already decided a couple years ago that this is my last console from sony. (likely my last console period tbf) everything else they have done since then has been no concern. I haven't turned my ps5 on more than a handful of times in the last year. No reason to.
Their games are too expensive, are shit quality, and their entire mentality on giving "free" games to subscription members backfired horribly since I never bought any actual games using it, so therefore when I finally cancelled my sub I have nothing to bring me to turn the console on as well.
The Xbox has the same flaw atm, like yea gamepass is an amazing feature but, when you finally cancel that sub... there's nothing left for you, you won't see the advertising or the new games they offer, as you don't have a reason to turn the system on. That was the biggest thing that kept me on my ps3 and 4, when I was playing my actual games, I could slide onto the PS+ area and see what was new, and if something caught my eye I either bought it or downloaded it. With the PS5 and Xbox X nothing has brought me back onto the systems.... so nothing is making me feel like I should continue to spend money on the platforms.
I got it for the controller haptics and trigger feedback, ended up just making me worse at every game that has it, idk if I actually like the gimmick
