A consumer group has filed a class-action lawsuit against SIE’s PlayStation on the grounds that Sony has monopolized $5.9 billion in UK gaming revenue by taking 30 percent of platform fees from the PSN store since August 2016, Sky News reported.
Lawyers for the prosecution say Sony has a monopoly on the digital distribution of PlayStation games and in-game content, resulting in excessive prices charged to players that are completely disproportionate to the cost of Sony’s services. The plaintiffs point out that gaming is the largest entertainment industry in the UK and that Sony is hurting consumers who cannot afford them.
In short, the key to this detonation is the 30% platform revenue of digital products and anti-monopoly.
Of course, this is not the first time that this drama has been staged. Many people must remember the Epic vs Apple war the previous year. At that time, the US court’s provisional judgment was that Apple could not force users to conduct microtransactions through the APP Store, but Apple did not violate the anti-counterfeiting rules. Monopoly Law. As for what the sentence will be in the UK, it will have to wait for the court to authenticate it.
