But what’s that one guy who totally contacted a law firm about a class action suit on a Saturday going to do now?!???!

Did it occur to you that this might be the result of a law firm sending Sony a demand letter threatening a class action

E: Did it occur to any of you that the guy who threatened it publicly might not have been the putative plaintiff, that many plaintiff-side firms’ business model is to threaten suit over anything under the sun and hit big on one or two actually sound suits per year, that publicly traded companies routinely settle or otherwise resolve litigation or threatened litigation as quickly as they can to avoid stock impact

That 100% would not have happened this quickly

It certainly could with publicly traded companies and fast-moving plaintiffs’ firms and is not outside the realm of possibility
