LOS ANGELES: The United Kingdom’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is launching a consumer law investigation into videogame companies Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo over some of their business practices, it announced on April 5.
The CMA is concerned about whether or not some of the companies’ practices are legal, including their use of auto-renewals for subscription services like Xbox Live, PlayStation Plus, and Nintendo Switch Online. It’s also looking into their cancellation and refund policies and their terms and conditions.
