Playstation-spelare kan få del av Sonys förlikning på 8 miljoner dollar

Svenska

Sony har nått en grupptalanförlikning värd 8 miljoner dollar för Playstation-spelare. Uppgörelsen erbjuder en blygsam utbetalning till berättigade spelare och är en del av en serie konkurrensrättsliga rättsprocesser mot företaget i USA och Storbritannien.

Sony gick med på förlikningen som en lösning på den pågående grupptalan gällande företagets spelplattform. Berättigade Playstation-användare kan komma att få en del av den totala fonden, även om beloppen förväntas förbli begränsade per individ. Detta följer på en separat brittisk grupptalan rörande Sonys förmedlingsavgifter på 30 procent, värderad till 2,6 miljarder dollar, som når sitt slut denna vecka.
