It’s game over for the Xbox 360 class action: the US Supreme Court has ruled 8-0 in favor of Microsoft, who was blamed for selling a poorly designed console with a disc system that could scratch games up. The decision seems to rest on the idea that scratches could happen for myriad reasons, including human error. Now, gamers who feel they’ve been had by Microsoft will have to fight the company as individuals.



The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled in favor of Microsoft Corp in its bid to fend off class action claims by Xbox 360 owners who said the popular videogame console gouges discs because of a design defect.

The court, in a 8-0 ruling, overturned a 2015 decision by the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that allowed console owners to appeal the dismissal of their class action lawsuit by a federal judge in Seattle in 2012.
