This article is about how the major gaming industries got hacked by lizard squad a hacking group.

• The consoles rely on an internet connection for many of their functions. 
• Parents were so angered by the issues with the machines, that they wrote hundreds of messages to both companies on Twitter accompanied by the message '#christmasruined'.
• Ros Bruce said her ten-year-old son had spent weeks planning what games he and his friend would play together ahead of receiving an Xbox One for Christmas. 
• The boy was sorely disappointed when he tried to download a game and was still unable to play it more than 15 hours later.  
• A Twitter user from Scotland also called for a refund and said: '£450 later and the kids have an expensive plastic paperweight.'

I believe what Playstation has done is very good as they have extended playstation plus for its consumers which extends their online gameplay which is a benefit to everyone.
