Gamers Admit They Can't Even Maintain a PlayStation Boycott For More Than Two Weeks

This 3-panel edited meme uses a scene from the animated series *The Simpsons* to mock the consistent failure of gamer-led boycotts against major gaming companies. The first panel shows Springfield police officers informing a character with the Sony PlayStation logo in place of their head that the brand will not survive an ongoing consumer boycott. The second panel shows the PlayStation character smugly responding that gamers will abandon the boycott within a month. The third panel shows a police officer, representing disgruntled gamers, sheepishly admitting that the boycott will likely only last two weeks. The meme references the widely discussed failed boycott of Blizzard Entertainment over ethical violations, where consumers did not maintain their commitment to avoiding Blizzard products for long.

Dialogue

You're not going to survive this boycott.
Heh. You'll get over it in a month.
We'll try to make it two weeks.
