Sony has been taking stances towards third-party PS4 controllers, but it surely seems the French authorities aren’t too eager on its stance. Principally, for those who thought the third-parties’ felt worse, Sony has carried out a technical measure that makes these counterfeit controllers run worse than its first-party counterparts.
Competitors Coverage Worldwide studies that Autorité de la Concurrence, which handles the nation’s anti-trust issues, has slapped the Japanese tech big with a $14.8 million high-quality. The technical measures it singles out was initially added to the PS4 again in 2015.
The measure, coupled with its licensing coverage being quite strict, raised pink flags for the nation’s authorities. Supposedly, Sony has refused to enter talks with firms or clarify its licensing coverage to any occasion exterior of its partnership program.
Whereas Sony hasn’t commented publicly, this will make it — and doubtlessly trigger ripples resulting in extra firms — a bit extra clear with regards to third-party controller help.
