Sony facing $7.9 billion UK lawsuit for unfairly priced games, add-ons on PlayStation Store
Sony Interactive Entertainment is set to face a massive $7.9 billion lawsuit in the U.K. that claims the company “abused its dominant position” to jack up prices on the PlayStation Store, as first reported today by Reuters.
The lawsuit is reportedly representing almost nine million people in the U.K. who have purchased games or digital add-on content via the PlayStation Store. According to Alex Neill of Consumer Voice U.K., who is bringing the lawsuit up on behalf of U.K. consumers, those customers might have overpaid for games or other purchases and could be owed hundreds in compensation.
