I’ve purchased Xbox keys from other sources besides Microsoft. I’m pretty sure you can get them from CDKeys.
Sony facing $7.9 billion mass lawsuit over PlayStation Store prices
- Thread starter The Mad Titan
- Start date
I saw God of War Ragnarok sold on CD Keys cheaper than Sony’s store before.The difference between sony and everyone else is that you can’t buy digital games for playstation unless you buy them directly from sony, other digital storefronts allow codes to be sold in different stores.
This is the second time someone has tried to sue sony for this. Last time they didn’t have a case because they were incompetent. We will see where this one goes
O³ (O cubed)
No more PAWGs, PLEASE??!!!??
UK law is different. The lawsuit will not bear any fruit, however it may cause a review by the competition regulators.
those keys come from bundles

Then they should have put their foot down and one of the biggest anti-consumer corporations bought another one

and failed
It's all about the 30 percent, the industry has been complaining about it since before COVID and it became a super hot topic during and after.
If it was like 15/20 percent with the market cap they have this case wouldn't have much of a leg to stand on.
But this was a standout subject during the ABK trial also.
You also gotta remember that gaming for retail has never really been profitable even with rental stores gaming in retail has basically always been used as lure to sell other things, and only with trading and selling used games did it become super profitable.
So devs and publishers don't like it, retail doesn't like the fact that not only do they lose foot traffic they get screwed percentage wise and fans don't like it because they end up eating the cost, only for Sony to have a price parity in place so the game couldn't be sold lower at face value to the consumers if anyone else wanted to
And here we got Sony, that digital code you picked up in Target?
"Best we can do is a gift card which you can redeem online and use on our store for a slight up charge of 30%"

Only reason stories like these even get posted daily is because Larry’s know they can only succeed (even a little) if playstation/sony slips up. They’ve been trying to will the 360 generation back into existence for the past two generations.
All the fud in the world isn’t going to save the xbox brand at this point. The only reason xbox even sold over 20 million at this point is because people couldn’t buy ps5’s during covid. Yall talking about monopolies and unfair competition in the UK, i don’t know if any of you have been paying attention xbox s basically non-existent at this point across europe, and its their own doing.
This is just as bad as xbox is in Japan right now. They are hanging on by a thread in the US, their last remaining territory of relevance
If you’re anti-sony at this point you should just be on PC.

The UK isn't in the EU, and this lawsuit is coming from an individual.
