Sony Is Being Sued for Alleged Monopoly Over Digital Game Sales on PlayStation Store

Sony is now being sued for its alleged monopoly over its digital game sales on the PlayStation Store. According to Bloomberg, a class-action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in San Francisco alleging that Sony has exhibited anti-competitive behavior by offering digital game sales exclusively on its own PlayStation store, which were previously also available at third-party retailers such as Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy back in 2019. The move has allowed the gaming giant to raise prices beyond competitive levels.
