There are gamers who definitely want to change this status quo.
Sony has made assurances to their own investors, but this may not go over well with their own customers.
As we just reported, Sony CFO Lin Tao spoke about their decision to stop making physical PlayStation games in their latest earnings call. While she claimed they understood their community’s emotions, she sang a different tune when asked if it has affected their business.
Lin said this:
At this point in time, we are not seeing any impact on our business. But going forward, about the content sales, a large part is already digitized. And therefore as a result the discontinuation of discs, we don’t see that there will be any negative impact on our business. However, as I already said, the users, the players have attachments and we have to think about how to respond to those feedbacks.
Lin says this just as their fans are planning a boycott. As organized by Twitter user DoesItPlay, the #PSBlackout will run from August 23 to August 30, with pledges to no logins, play session, or purchases. While some questioned its chances of success, Sony themselves are pointing out how urgent it is for consumers to fight for their rights.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
