Sony Computer Entertainment America has settled its class action lawsuit over due wages for unpaid overtime to the tune of $8.5 million, Gamasutra reports. That cash will go to current and former employees and a pair of SCEA internal positions will be reclassified as "nonexempt employees under the wage and hour laws of California and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act."
Sony isn't the first video game publisher to settle a big payout to workers, as Electronic Arts has settled two separate suits, totaling over $30 million.
That 8.5 million is equivalent to over 14,000 PLAYSTATION 3s, so get out there and buy, kids. Sony needs the cash now more than ever!
