Stop Killing Games join lawsuit against the PlayStation Store's "Sony Tax," in latest venture beyond game preservation

Game preservation group Stop Killing Games has joined a lawsuit against Sony, alleging the company uses its monopoly power to restrict PlayStation games to its own digital store. Rock Paper Shotgun reports the Dutch case, originally filed in twenty twenty-four, has gained momentum from Sony's recent announcement that it plans to discontinue physical games by twenty twenty-eight—a move the lawsuit contends eliminates its only retail competitor. Stop Killing Games describes this as part of a broader expansion of its advocacy beyond game preservation.
