PS5 Players Could Get Compensation as Sony Slammed for Monopolistic Practices in UK Court
Sony is facing a £2 billion class-action lawsuit in the UK accusing the company of monopolistic practices related to digital game sales on the PlayStation 5. The lawsuit argues that Sony's closed ecosystem unfairly limits consumer choice and could result in compensation for up to 12.2 million UK players if Sony loses. The company defends its model by citing security risks of open storefronts and its low hardware profit margins.
