A brief outage for Microsoft's online video game network on Wednesday was enough to send rapper Snoop Dogg over the edge, launching an angry expletive-laden tirade against the technology company -- and its founder Bill Gates.
Posting on his personal Instagram account, the legendary artist threatened to switch to rival Sony Playstation if the servers were not fixed.
Microsoft's Xbox One console has online capabilities called Xbox Live that allow millions of gamers around the world to compete from the comfort of their own homes.
However, from time to time, technical issues haunt both Microsoft and rival Sony and brief server outages occur.
The tech giant's support team tweeted that it was aware of the outage on Wednesday afternoon and seven hours later it announced that the problems had been resolved.
