Tell us how you really feel: Activision suing EA

We run a lot of lawsuit news stories, but a $400 million suit between the two largest video game publishers in the world is a new one for us. What's your take on it?

You can get caught up on the whole Infinity Ward/Activision/Respawn/EA drama here. We're not here to tell you how to feel a bout any particular person or company, but we sometimes wonder just how much you guys really care who sues whom for how much.

You Tell Us: Why we should or shouldn't care about Activision suing EA. Best answer(s) win the least violent game we have in the office.less than a minute ago via TweetDeck


By and large most of you told us that we shouldn't care for one reason or another. The only person who said otherwise obviously has a good sense of humor:

@GamePro you should care because EA is the Antichrist, and this lawsuit holds the fate of all mankind in it's graspless than a minute ago via web


But for our winners, we're going with the five most level-headed responses. The lawsuit stories -- especially the ones around Activision -- have a way of drawing out the kind of people who just like to trash talk. Which, ironically, is really all the lawsuits are: corporate trash-talk.

So here are the winning Tweets in today's You Tell Us:

@GamePro You should not care about Activision suing EA because it does not make their game releases any better.less than a minute ago via web


@Gamepro Lawsuits are nothing new in businesses, even more so for the game industry.less than a minute ago via txt


@GamePro Shouldn't care. Unless you own stock in either company. Activision is trying to pull one over on us. Its about money. Not games.less than a minute ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®


@GamePro well as long as they release their games on time Activision can go sue everyone they wantless than a minute ago via web


@GamePro We shouldn't care because we aren't ever going to get the full story, rumors and myth will just continue to drive everyone crazyless than a minute ago via web


The peaceful winners have earned the right to Hello Kitty: Seasons -- the least violent game we have in the GamePro office. Hit us up via Direct Message on Twitter to claim your prize.
