Les joueurs PlayStation pourraient bénéficier d'un accord amiable de 8 millions de dollars avec Sony

Sony est parvenu à un accord de recours collectif d'une valeur de 8 millions de dollars pour les joueurs PlayStation. L'accord prévoit un versement modeste aux joueurs éligibles et s'inscrit dans une série d'actions antitrust aux États-Unis et au Royaume-Uni contre l'entreprise.

Sony a accepté cet accord pour résoudre l'action collective en cours concernant sa plateforme de jeu. Les utilisateurs PlayStation éligibles devraient recevoir une part du fonds total, bien que les montants par individu soient prévus pour rester limités. Cela fait suite à une action collective distincte au Royaume-Uni concernant les commissions de 30 % de Sony, évaluée à 2,6 milliards de dollars et qui arrive à son terme cette semaine.
