Sony getting sued is good, for all of us

The U.K.’s Competition Appeal Tribunal has ruled that a $7.9 billion class-action lawsuit against Sony can go ahead, despite the PlayStation company’s lawyers trying to get the case dismissed. This is a good thing, for all consumers.

The lawsuit is being led by Alex Neill, who claims Sony “abused its dominant position” and has been overcharging users. The lawsuit alleges this was due to Sony charging a 30 percent commission, a fee which subsequently causes games and add-ons to be marked up so developers and publishers can adequately make money.
