PlayStation fans have launched a new class-action lawsuit in an effort to claim refunds after Sony initiated price increases for the PS5 in response to tariffs last year.

    Pretty sure that Sony is suing because the tariffs were deemed illegal. So if they win that, they are profiting off of illegally obtained money from consumers.

    I might be wrong with the assessment of that, but also not American or really following it.

      The problem will be intent. They had no intent to commit a crime. They obeyed the “law” ( the tarrifs were executive order and not law and that’s why they were illegal ) and when they found out the law was illegal, they want money.

      We as consumers get screwed. I don’t think this lawsuit will be won, but they can hope for Sony to settle and those in the suit get like $5 or something laughable, while the attorneys of the suit raking in A LOT of money. But only of the attorneys can get money.

      So no. Consumers will basically get fucked over once again.
