Perfect.

People should spend time with family, eat lots of food and/or go to the movies on Christmas anyway. The PS4 can wait until Boxing Day.
Did you ever get a game console or a game for Christmas as a kid? Now imagine not being able to play it.
 
I remember last year with the whole lizard squad shit a radio host got in contact with one of them, of course the teen was a complete ignorant asshole etc, then the host hit him with "I was wondering what did your little brother get for Christmas" the teen replied "a ps4", then the host said "oh ok well why dont you go up to him and tell him you're part of the reason why he cant play his favourite game on Christmas, on a console he just got that i am sure he is exited about much like other children in the world who want to play but cant because morons like you decide to do something like this"

Silence from the teen boy followed lmao
 
The more you vent your frustrations online and provide humorous reactions, the more the people involved will see this and continue. Of course that doesn't mean you can't talk about it, but when you find the names of the groups and practically celebrate their accomplishment, you make it entertaining for them to continue. The less they are paid attention to, the better.
 
This sucks. I was really annoyed when I got my Vita for Christmas and was unable to download any of the games included with it.
 
Whats wrong with being a virgin? Are we virgin shaming?
Even Jesus' mom was a virgin

There's nothing wrong with being a virgin, it's an admirable trait. A desperate, whiny, attention seeking one who blames the world for your problems though... They're the worst.

Jesus mom being a virgin.... Uhm, that's another debate.
 
You are a pretty sad person if you have nothing else to do beside playing online on some console.

What? What an asshole-ish thing to say. What about all the people overseas? When I was in the military I couldn't fly to see my family for a few years, but I could go online and play a few games with my Pops or little sisters. Meaning I got to spend time with my family. Try hopping down off your high horse.

Maybe read what he wrote again and look at what you wrote. They are the exact opposite.

Uhm now 40+ year old gamers are common there can be entire families parents and kids who enjoy playing games.
Yes, but this has nothing to do with what I wrote?

More sad than a person that virtually bullies a bunch of kids/families out of enjoying their Christmas presents?
Those are just retards, I wouldn't call them sad.

You realise where you're posting this, right? And regardless, have a little more respect for those with a lifestyle different than yours.
 
Can't Sony and MS take precautions to prevent this from happening?

Because of how the internet is designed the only way is to have more server capacity than the size of the ddos attack. That would mean having multiple times more servers than what they actually need to run the service. Expensive and untenable.

At the minute Sony pay a ddos mitigation company large sums of money to protect them, which ultimately we all pay for.

That's a hateful thing to say to someone you don't even know. What's wrong with wanting to play games during the holidays? Some games even help people keep in touch.

Dogma said it best. :D

Bethany: Jesus didn't have any brothers or sisters. Mary was a virgin.

Rufus: Mary gave birth to CHRIST without having known a man's touch, that's true. But she did have a husband. And do you really think he'd have stayed married to her all those years if he wasn't getting laid? The nature of God and the Virgin birth, those are leaps of faith. But to believe a married couple never got down? Well, that's just plain gullibility.
 
Meh. I'll be playing The Witcher 3.

I just hope it doesn't last over two days like last year.

Virgins?

Sex isn't tough to have. It's LOVE that's hard to find, pal.

Yeah, I read it.

But apparently not being able to reach/interact with your family and interacting with them via playing games online is the same to you? Sorry, that makes no sense.

It was intended as a general statemet. Maybe I should have used "one" as opposed to "you" in the general sense. If you entire holidays consist of playing games online and you literally can't do anything else (reading a book, playing normally, going out or anything else at all), it is sad. I can't see it as anything else.

My lifestyle isn't that different.

Well this is just a trash post, some people dont even have a family, those that do are still allowed to spend christmas how ever they want.

But WP op shame those lame ass virgins with facial hair, thats really cool of you!
 
The Witcher 3 will happily snuggle up with me and my PC during Christmas break as will Just Cause 3. I do feel badly for the PSN/XBL folks who are trying to do online multi-player or co-op, however.

On point.

You realise some people are less fortunate and maybe dont have any family to celebrate the holidays with, that and maybe no friends as well. So they spend time doing something that gives them comfort/happiness and not feel alone. Shame on you, get a wider perspective that the holidays isn't always a happy occasion for people.
 
Both the op with the virgin shaming and the people criticizing whoever wants to play games online during christmas should get off their high horses.

"....bringing you and your family closer this holiday that's our promise. Happy Holidays from Phantom Squad."
 
Honestly the PS/XB servers are going to crash anyway due to the Christmas Day traffic. DDOSers are just taking credit for an inevitability.

Those are just retards, I wouldn't call them sad.

I was going to write a rebuttal but nope. Won't even bother after the bolded.

Keep on with that judgmental attitude of yours.
 
So they're trying to make a point by ruining other people's experience, especially ones who just got a new console?

Their logic sucks
