Sony fanboys....

I hope Microsoft crushes them in court and sends them free Xbox’s and no cash winnings 😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆

I have a proposal, let’s sue the guys who sue Microsoft! 😄 That’s so selfish from their side! They try to keep timed exclusivity contests for PlayStation. Unbelievable!

Further proof gamers have no idea about the outside world. FTC a GOVERNMENT agency is already doing that. All the lawyers representing those individuals have just taken easy money they know it won't matter. MS are going to have way better lawyers as well

😂😂😂😂😂

im all for the Activision Blizzard deal for microsoft

Hope they have the same energy for when Sony attempts to purchase Square Enix.

Love it, F M$

Next, they’re going to sue McDonalds to get the McRib on the menu full-time.

Why the F would u want the current situation of ownership to keep going instead of Microsoft

Yes! Finally!

Those aren’t gamers. Those are crybabies.
