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.

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:
