The Dutch consumer foundation has initiated legal action against Sony, alleging that the company charges significantly higher prices for digital versions of PlayStation games compared to their physical counterparts. According to the foundation, digital games are on average 20% more expensive than physical copies. This pricing strategy, they argue, unfairly impacts consumers who prefer or are forced to buy games digitally. The lawsuit seeks to address this pricing disparity, aiming to ensure that digital and physical game prices are more aligned. The foundation’s move highlights a growing concern among consumers about the cost of digital content in the gaming industry.
