Sorry, there is no way to legitimize what LS did, no matter what their "intentions" were. Shutting down XBL and PSN, then demanding Twitter followers in exchange for the ddos attacks to stop is childish behavior to the most extreme degree. I'm sure there are plenty of gamers out there, young and old, who enjoy playing games with family and friends during get togethers at Christmas. Every year at my family Christmas get togethers there's always a room occupied with people taking turns playing video games, usually the ones they got as gifts. It's a fun way to reconnect with family members you haven't seen in a while who also share similar interests. Every family has their thing. Some families watch football or basketball, some watch Christmas movies, some go look at lights, some play video games.
