After this recent stream of random and nonsensical ddos attacks seemingly meant only to disrupt hard working peoples free time especially during this holiday season when the most have to suffer from it. Maybe I watch too many spy movies or something but what if these attacks are being financed by someone in yet another scheme like sopa or pipa or whatever they want to call it. But this time instead of fighting the public they find an other more subversive way to influence the masses interest?
Make gamers hate hackers? Even more than they do already? Done. Such a generalistic outlook and not everyones opinion.. but if thats even a glimmer of a thought in some peoples minds then that was a success.
Also hurt several companies at the same time? Bonus.
But the long game, probably not even the end game.. to enforce stricter methods of communication on the internet, lock it down. Track everything even more than before.
In the guise of narcissistic scriptkiddery.. could it be a master plan? Or just a lot of douchebaggery and pissing contests?
Only time will tell,
The truth is out there.

Well, considering the #satire tag I suspect you're being facetious, but I'm going to answer seriously anyway; I don't think they're smart enough to even consider that.
