What's the Lawsuit About?
PlayStation owners in the UK may be entitled to compensation ranging from £67 to £562 due to a lawsuit alleging years of 'ripping off' customers. The lawsuit focuses on the 30% commission charged by PlayStation for all purchases made on the PlayStation Store.
Who is Eligible for Compensation?
Anyone who accessed the PlayStation Store between August 19, 2016, and August 19, 2022, and made purchases such as full games, DLC, microtransactions, or subscriptions could be eligible for a payout.
Implications for Other Gaming Platforms
While PlayStation is not the only gaming company charging high commissions, this lawsuit could set a precedent for similar actions against other platforms like Nintendo, Xbox, Steam, and mobile stores. The outcome of this case could impact the pricing of video games.
Sony's Response
Sony, the parent company of PlayStation, has not yet commented on the lawsuit. In the past, Sony has had to compensate players for misleading advertising related to the PlayStation Vita.
