Oh it's no joke. It's more like "a nice console you got there - would be a shame if something happened to it".

Do some people even know that you have to pay for Live after you sub to gamepass.......
At least many Sony games do not require plus, the biggest game online right now does not need plus on a Sony console "fortnite"..... How comes Sony was the only company targeted knowing all of this. If anything, Sony should get a break like the others received....Yet, MS is the most culpable here tbh...

Nintendo was very up front about their switch to paid online. I’m fairly certain their boxes even say as much though I was under the impression Sony does too and I’m fairly certain my Xbox did.
This is a battle of technicality really.
PS4 box. Not sure what the Italian box is like but the UK one has it printed that you need PS+ for online. Would be wierd if they missed it on the Italian box considering EU legislation.
Maybe it's the fact that it says multiplayer requires it but free to play games on PlayStation don't need PS+?

On ps4 your free to play are free while paid games aren’t. It’s totally bullshit. Either it’s free or not. Ms and Nintendo is less misleading.
You think having to pay a monthly subscription charge to play 'free to play' games is less misleading than it being free?
I'll take the 'more misleading total bullshit' of them being free to play, thanks.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Free to play games don't need the $4/month or $20/year fee on Switch either, do they? Warframe, Fortnite, Paladins, Arena of Valor and the like?
Also they call them Free to Start games on Nintendo.com and that includes demos that can unlock the full game there alongside them it seems.

Mckmaster uses MasterCard to buy Slave drives
And so is the reason for the fine. I could have sworn Sony listed that stuff on the box.

I screencapped some images of the complaint and posted it in the first post as people aren't bothering going through it.
A lot of writing also which would have to be ran through Google or a native speaker, furthermore it's a box of the Slim model.
Thanks. Now I just have to learn Italian.The pdf file is in the first post along with the page number, you'll see images of the Italian box.

Don't know to be honest. I don't own a Switch. Only going by what quickwhips said.
