Jogadores de PlayStation podem receber parte de acordo de US$ 8 milhões da Sony

A Sony fechou um acordo de ação coletiva no valor de US$ 8 milhões para jogadores de PlayStation. O acordo oferece um pagamento modesto aos jogadores elegíveis e faz parte de uma série de ações antitruste nos EUA e no Reino Unido contra a empresa.

A Sony concordou com o acordo como uma resolução para o processo coletivo em andamento envolvendo sua plataforma de jogos. Usuários elegíveis do PlayStation poderão receber uma parte do fundo total, embora a previsão seja de que os valores permaneçam limitados por indivíduo. Isso ocorre após uma ação coletiva separada no Reino Unido sobre as taxas de comissão de 30% da Sony, avaliada em US$ 2,6 bilhões e que chega ao fim esta semana.
