The public outcry over Sony's quiet stance on RoevWade shows that players care about what the people who make their games think.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court’s majority draft opinion detailing its vote to overturn Roe v. Wade leaked out to the press, setting the stage for a possible erosion of abortion protection in the United States.
To further show its solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement that October, PlayStation released a PS4 theme dedicated to the cause, raised fist and all. Two years later, when Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an attack on Ukraine and ordered his military to invade the country in February 2022, Sony condemned the invasion — which is still ongoing — saying it has suspended game sales and releases, as well as pulled the plug on the PlayStation Store in Russia.
All of those previous vocal commitments set a precedent for Sony, which makes its silence on the abortion debate puzzling for fans. PlayStation’s first-party studios are more vocal by comparison, though that’s created more mixed messaging. The Washington Post reported that Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart studio Insomniac Games plans to donate $50,000 to the Women’s Reproductive Rights Assistance Project through the PlayStation Cares program.
