Sony has received a two million euros fine by the Italian Antitrust for unfair business practice related to the sale of PlayStation 4 consoles. The news comes with the latest weekly bulletin published yesterday on the official website; you can find it on page 230 of the document.

The Antitrust found article 21 (clause 1, B and D, specifically) and article 22 of the Consumer Code to have been violated, adding that this unfair business practice is well-suited to appreciably misdirect the consumer due to the lack of information on a relevant product feature. Specifically, the need to subscribe to the PlayStation Plus service in order to play online multiplayer with the PlayStation 4 console and its PlayStation 4 games, including those purchased via the PlayStation Store.
