"For example:

Would you like it if someone sold you a computer, then 2 months later, someone forcefully updated your computer, and this update made your computer unusable. Then, that someone who installed the "update" said that you had to give them money for them to fix it for you."

Yeah, that's essentially extortion. And to the people saying it's not that widespread, it doesn't matter. If Microsoft damaged just one console with their upgrade and then refused to fix it they're in the wrong. If this lawsuit does get thrown out though it'll be for the ridiculous $5 mil thing.
