PS5 console owners have filed a class-action lawsuit against Sony, seeking refunds for a $50 price increase implemented in August 2025 due to tariffs later struck down in February 2026. The lawsuit, Walker et al v. Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC, claims Sony should pass on its "double recovery windfall" to affected buyers. This move mirrors a similar lawsuit recently filed against Nintendo.
Nintendo's legal woes against Palworld developer Pocketpair continue as a touchscreen-specific patent for monster-catching mechanics was denied. The rejection, citing lack of innovation, is the latest setback in an ongoing battle. Palworld's similarities to Pokémon mechanics are at the heart of the dispute.
