Playstation is facing legal action which could net millions of console owners a share of up to £5billion. The lawsuit accuses Sony of “ripping off” customers.
The legal action argues that Sony breached competition law and abused its market position. If successful, around 8.9 million customers could get between £67 and £562 in damages, excluding interest.
In the claim, it is alleged that Sony sold overpriced digital games and in-game purchases - meaning customers potentially paid more than they should have. It argues that the gaming giant charged a 30% commission on every digital game or in-game purchase made through the online PlayStation Store, MirrorOnline reports.
