PlayStation users in the US may be eligible for a cut of nearly $8 million soon in the wake of a class-action lawsuit settlement. The lawsuit, called Caccuri v. Sony Interactive Entertainment, alleged that Sony violated anti-trust and consumer laws by essentially forcing “consumers to pay more for certain digital games than they otherwise would have paid on the PlayStation Store.”
The class-action lawsuit specifically mentions that Sony removed digital vouchers for games from third-party retailers like Amazon or key resellers, leaving users with the only option to purchase games through the PlayStation Store. As we all know by now, PlayStation Store’s pricing can sometimes be twice as much as what other platforms would sell games for, and if a user’s only option is to use Sony’s high-priced store, they’ll have no other option than to fork over PlayStation’s asking price.
