I think this is, like, exactly why they’re being sued. To determine the answer to this.
Comment on PlayStation Console Owners Launch Class-Action Lawsuit Against Sony Over Tariff Refunds
iamtherealwalrus@lemmy.world 1 week agoIs Sony required to pay the consumers when they make a profit, if their suppliers lower prices?

Pretty sure that Sony is suing because the tariffs were deemed illegal. So if they win that, they are profiting off of illegally obtained money from consumers.
I might be wrong with the assessment of that, but also not American or really following it.

The problem will be intent. They had no intent to commit a crime. They obeyed the “law” ( the tarrifs were executive order and not law and that’s why they were illegal ) and when they found out the law was illegal, they want money.
We as consumers get screwed. I don’t think this lawsuit will be won, but they can hope for Sony to settle and those in the suit get like $5 or something laughable, while the attorneys of the suit raking in A LOT of money. But only of the attorneys can get money.
So no. Consumers will basically get fucked over once again.
