Sony PlayStation is being sued for £5 billion in the UK over allegations it “ripped off its customers” with overpriced games and in-game purchases. The legal case claims Sony PlayStation’s actions have driven up prices for consumers, resulting in customers being “unwittingly overcharged” for digital gaming purchases by up to a total of £5 billion over the past six years. The Sony PlayStation breached competition law, imposing unfair terms and conditions on games’ developers and publishers, and driving up prices. Why has the law suits become the order of the day against big technology companies?
