Boycott Sony until Herman Hulst is removed


Boycott Sony until Herman Hulst is removed
The Issue
Under Herman Hulst, the strategy has been clear and cynical: acquire world class studios, force them into live service games they were never built to make, watch them fail to become the next billion dollar cash machine, then shut them down and move on. Bluepoint Games, the studio that lovingly restored Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls for a new generation, is closing in March. That's what loyalty to PlayStation's history gets you under this leadership.
We have been patient. We've asked, begged, and waited for a Bloodborne remaster, a Legend of the Dragoon revival, new LBP, Killzone, anything that shows Sony still remembers why we showed up in the first place. The answer has been silence, because none of that fits a live service monetization model.
This ends now.
We are demanding two things: Herman Hulst must step down. Sony must abandon its live service first strategy and return to investing in the original IP experiences that built this community.
If Bluepoint closes in March as announced, we are calling for a full boycott of Sony live service titles and new PlayStation hardware purchases beginning April 1st.
Not because we hate PlayStation. Because we love what it was, and we refuse to fund its replacement with something cheaper, emptier, and built purely to extract money from the people who made Sony what it is.
Sign. Share. Make them feel it.
