They close matrix online then they ruin everquest 2. then they get hacked and now shut down star wars galaxies. i went from loyal SOE customer to pure hatred for them so they can ban me but i'm not gonna let them get there way again enough is enough.
Well, thank goodness I do my gaming predominantly on the PC and my dealings with SOE have been done for years now.
This outfit can go to hell.
"I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold."

Being a PS3 user I have no issue signing something like this. So many stupid people sue'ing over nothing. After all, theres always a way to hack in to something, it cant be stopped. Not Sony's fault.
I can only think of one publisher (actually an individual developer) that does more to alienate its customer base than SOE. And the sad thing is the individual developer actually intentionally tries to troll. Sony on the other hand is just doing what they naturally do.
Only lawyers get rich over class action lawsuits. It doesn't take away your right to sue, only the right for class action... since they're going to end up paying billions of dollars for the legal issues they're facing right now, another one could probably sink the ship. They probably can't afford to 'not do' this.
I think we should all boycott Sony anyway. They used to be the only electronics manufacturer I'd have in my house, I was a loyal Playstation customer over Xbox, I played all the SOE games they could throw at me online... over the years they've just become craptastic. Now the only electronic item I have left in my house from Sony is an old CD player. I wanted to play Planetside 2 but F2P plus Sony rip off cash shop sounds non-appealing. Down with Sony... and lets have a public stoning of Smedley... just for fun...

I've already stopped buying anything Sony. Not only were they careless with customer information, they have terrible customer service and the latter is what caused me to cancel all accounts and never buy a sony product again.

The whole reason people want to sue Sony is because users' credit card numbers were stored/sent in plain text. That IS Sony's fault.

Besides the obvious point, which someone else pointed out about CC numbers being transmitted in the clear, you have no issues with someone stealing your identity and racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, which you are responsible for? This is the major issue i have with the way Lulz Security does business. There are people out there who go out of thier way to find out personal info so they can assume an identity and ruin peoples lives, while the criminal reaps the rewards. Lulz just hands the info out so these people don't have to go out of their way to find the info. That's criminal. Yes, there is no such thing as a system that is on the internet but impossible to breach, but Sony apparently had light security measures in place, where ultra secure was required.
I guess it hasn't occured to anyone that harsher punishment of identity theft is an optional avenue to take, or if a foreign country isn't extraditing then Tariffs.

Please, is anyone honestly surprised? ...come on ffs
Anyone who continues to buy their crappy products & services & hasn't learnt from
Sony / SOE's history of inferior products & bad behaviour deserves to be punished imo
It amases me how they can get away with the things they have, & the way they treat people
yet they still have a lot of fanboi followers... HOW?!
*EDIT*
Maybe the hackers should of done a better job & done us all a favour
The Deathstar destroyed planets...Lucas Arts destroyed Galaxies
