In what may be the closing chapter in the 2011 breach of the PlayStation Network, Sony has agreed to pay a settlement of $15 Million for users whose identities were compromised in the cyber attack.
The settlement will be paid out to users of the PlayStation Network through several options of free games–
Infamous and
LittleBigPlanet are among the offered titles – themes, or three free months of PlayStation Plus.
Users who already claimed a free game through the Welcome Back program– an initiative launched by Sony in the months after the Playstation Network originally went down– will be able to choose one of the payout options. Users who did not take advantage of the Welcome Back program can select two.
