The Xbox Live server issues that occurred during the holidays are still having effects visible in today’s gaming landscape. In case you aren’t aware, several gamers inconvenienced by the intermittent service have taken the matter to the court and are now suing Microsoft.

Some gamers who are already feeling alright with the compensation and apologies offered by Microsoft think that those who sued, such as Keith Kay, Orlando Perez, and Shannon Smith of Texas, are just trying to make themselves rich.

The lawyer of the three, Jason Gibson, granted an interview recently and explained the side of the gamers. According to Gibson, his clients are in their late 20s and early 30s and not suing MS just for the fun of it.

The lawyer continued and added that for his clients, these are real issues and that they are looking for reimbursements for their subscription to Xbox Live among others. Gibson added:

When you have one person who is mad and they can’t get a response, and they can’t get their complaints addressed by a company like Microsoft, the only way to get their attention is in numbers.

They take the money for the subscriptions, but they don’t make sure that the service is going to be there. They kind of put the cart before the horse. To me, you make sure the service is going to be there. Make sure the product is going to be there. And then feel good about taking money for the service and the product.

Gibson also mentioned that since he picked up the case, more or less fifty other gamers have joined the fight against Microsoft. Once this suit gets served, the company has 20 days to respond.
