PlayStation is forcing its players into purchasing video games exclusively from its online marketplace, the PlayStation Store, players who filed lawsuits said. Even though Sony still controlled the platform, those alternatives limited the extent to which consumers depended on the PlayStation Store.” His lawyers’ argument centered on “retailers’ ability to sell download codes for digital PlayStation games,” they said in the complaint. The change, they said, made the PlayStation Store the only place publishers can sell digital PlayStation games, and the only place gamers can buy them digitally. Sony has a “near monopoly on the sale of digital games and add-on content through its control of the PlayStation Store,” PlayStation You Owe Us wrote on its website.
