00:00Stop Killing Games has officially joined the ongoing legal effort in the Netherlands from SM&C known as Fair PlayStation,
00:08which challenges PlayStation's alleged monopoly over digital game sales on its platform.
00:13While the lawsuit primarily concerns digital game pricing,
00:17the end of physical media has exacerbated concerns about Sony's ability to fix its own game prices.
00:23The Fair PlayStation campaign claims that Sony has had a monopoly on digital game sales on PlayStation,
00:29because your console is designed so you can only buy digital games through Sony's own store.
00:35And once Sony stops selling physical games in 2028, you won't have any choice at all.
00:39And now both Stop Killing Games and Community Resource Does It Play have announced they're also backing the Fair PlayStation

00:58of disc,
00:59On PC, where digital has been standard for decades, they're at least at a variety of different stores that can
01:04compete against each other.
01:05On PlayStation, the prices are set purely by Sony and its third-party partners.
01:10The same issues obviously hold for Xbox and Nintendo as well,
01:13but neither of those platforms have yet announced that they're going to stop selling physical media.
