PlayStation Customers Are Suing them for $7.9 Billion

The lawsuit against PlayStation has moved onto the next step and PlayStation is looking at a $7.9 Billion dollar lawsuit. The argument is that PlayStation charged developers 30% more which led to players being charged more. This is huge PlayStation news that they likely did not want to hear given recent events at the company, but this has been ongoing since 2019.

Original Story: A consumer rights advocacy group is suing Sony PlayStation for £5 Billion pounds which would net each person around £67 - £562 or in USD $78.82 - $661.12. This was originally reported by Sky News and it seems to have some legs. The case reports that Sony overcharged by as much as 30% for their digital games since 2016. This is massive PlayStation news today and it could mean a significant payout for customers. PlayStation sued for 5 billion pounds is not a small suit. This PlayStation class action lawsuit UK case is ongoing so it will take time to see if this PS news today is paid out in the near future for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 owners. The PlayStation lawsuit update for the US was the last that it was dismissed. However, the PlayStation lawsuit compensation could be around 67 to 652 pounds. PS5 news around this would mean at least a game worth of reimbursement. The Sony class action lawsuit PS5 owners should know about is this one, but for now, the Sony lawsuit UK case is only applicable to them. Gaming news for PlayStation has not been the most positive as late and with this PlayStation class action lawsuit settlement imminent, this PS5 news and general PS news today could be less than favorable for the company.

Sony is being anti-consumer?! Who would have guessed a company with two decades of anti-consumer practices is being anti-consumer again.

[RoyTrueblood]

Lmao sony anti consumer ways are slowly catching up to them

[jacobnordquist]

Imagine making such a stink over xbox, losing that fight, and then getting sued after you air your own dirty laundry. Simply next level *golf clap*

[chriswashington]

Sony sure brought a lot of negative action towards them after interfering in the ABK deal 😂😂😂😂

[ChilesSupportTV]

Weird that I couldn't find this huge news reported by IGN at all? But what I did find was four days ago they happily reported that Xbox series X/S console sales have "collapse in Europe? 🤔

[Gaming_since_the_eighties]

This is what happens, when you become arrogant and continue, your anti consumer practices.

[The-Game-Adaptation-Newscast]

The main reason I've become purely an Xbox gamer. Used to have both consoles, but Sony are just too greedy. Needing to have psplus just to save on the cloud is ridiculous.

[booshter]

You're boss Damon Johnson must be devastated. It will be be interesting to see how IGN spins this. My guess is y"all will put out even more anti Xbox articles 😂

[Johntheninja]

Nobody is going to pay a 70$ game, that’s completely fucking insane. I just wait until the price drops. I can now understand why GAMEPASS is really important from XBOX.

[Gunny]

I am so glad Sony is finally being held to account for abusing it's dominate market position to abuse their fans.

[gustavomachado]

Destin, I was one of the many people who absolutely disagreed with your comments about the Xbox Tax, but you shouldn't feel bad about it, that didn't stop me from liking your video. Everybody has the right to express their opinions and not always most will share our own beliefs

[alpha-boss]

Game Over Sony...Press X to continue 😂😂😂

[Greengoblin-qkkq]

Apparently Romania are looking into the same issue with Sony as well there there been investigating since May

[XRKGX]

Actually, they’re gonna get sued for a lot more than that because the pricing just went up on the lawsuit. They’re actually getting sued by other countries now and the CMA is now getting involved.

[RebelOfTheNorm]

Hey Destin, i still love you, but as for why the community bit back at you...
We the gamers have seen how the Media has acted towarda both companies ..we see how it differs.

I mean, even now, this Sue case against Sony can barely be found on news sights, whereas the ABK deal and even Starfield, had hit pieces ran on them DAILY.
The narrative has a clear bias.
Again though...we love you

[deadringer]

we need examples of what exactly it is because im not seeing anything on the store front that isnt inline with everybody elses store fronts

[deathtalker]

Expect PlayStation to Raise Game, Console and Accessory Prices

[prisonmykee]

Remember when the ponies accused Microsoft of monopolizing when they really weren’t. Turns out Sony was monopolizing the whole time.

[The-Vitruvian-Man]

Paul Tassi at Forbes explained several reasons in an article why there isn't much here against Sony, and that this is an industry standard with Steam, Xbox, and others. Doesn't sound like it will go anywhere meaningful.

starting to think jim got fired instead of voluntarily retiring

even more than I did before
