Sony has put forth a lawsuit in opposition to an eBay vendor promoting unauthorized PlayStation merchandise. The consumer in query, zaocuand-002, was promoting a journey bag designed for the PS5 Slim.
Dug up by The Recreation Submit, Sony, which is searching for two million for every counterfeit use, accuses the consumer of promoting this bag to unknowing prospects that this isn’t an formally licensed PlayStation product.
