Sony is currently facing a massive lawsuit, with plaintiffs seeking a staggering $7.9 billion in damages over alleged unfair pricing practices on the PlayStation Store.
The lawsuit, which has garnered significant attention in the gaming community, centers around accusations that Sony overcharged customers for digital downloads and subscriptions, ultimately leading to financial harm for millions of PlayStation users.
Alex Neill, a consumer advocate who has worked on previous campaigns, is bringing the case against Sony. She says the company abused its dominant position by requiring digital games and add-ons to be bought and sold only via the PlayStation Store, which charges a 30% commission to developers and publishers.
The claim alleges customers have therefore paid higher prices for games and add-on content than they would have done.
