Apparently some lawsuits have started on Sony’s potential price-fixing of all games on their platform since they’re now the only retailer. Before anyone gets excited, these are probably going nowhere, but it’s neat that something is happening. The idea seems similar to the Epic vs Apple/Google lawsuits.

    If we can’t choose to buy physical games, we need to have the option of where we can digitally buy them.

          It will be like when I was a kid and lusted over Neo-Geo games I couldn’t get because of high Neo-Geo prices, but now I’m almost 40 and still won’t be able to afford Neo-Geo prices for a PS6 game.

      Aren’t they going to still sell boxed copies with a digital code inside them? Like what GTA6 is doing.

      That gives retailers the ability to have pricing competition, and could result in lower digital prices on PSN too - unless sony prevents them from being sold below their PSN price.
