you guys still don't get it. This per user amount is a bullshit amount that accounts for nothing. The estimated costs of this situation is roughly 23 billion dollars.
THAT'S IT. End of story. Doesn't matter how many are fake accounts or how many of you don't buy anything on the psn. This 23 billion dollars doesn't get affected by that. That 318 is just a bs mathematical number they got by taking 23 billion and dividing it by 70 million. it means nothing. The only number that matters is 23 billion.

But that 23 billion is clearly nonsense. You're saying this little intrusion is going to cost them all the money the playstation brand has made in 20 years? Bam, gone? Unless every single person who's ever made a PSN account decides they need to take serious legal action, there's no chance of it coming remotely close to that cost.

thats not how legal action works. one person would win and n oone else would be able to sue. you can't be sued over the same thing twice.
and you are also missing what these costs include. thse numbers are mostly guestimates of missing revenue or lost sales. I mean during this down time, sony could have missed out on getting a few billion in psn sales. meanwhile they are incuring a few billion more in costs. Thus what would have been a 3 billion revenue, turns into a 0 billion revenue and 3 billion expense. a 6 billion dollars cost overall. and lets not forget stock. these also estimate a loss in stock value.
is sony going to have to fork oer 23 billion dolalrs? hell no.
